I believe photons to be corpuscles having more than one cycle (sort of like a gaussian envelope) but finite in size. The envelope is a soliton solution supported by the nonlinearity of the aether; which is different from a linear EM excitation of the aether. Each photon contains a fixed energy as a corpuscle. You cannot ascribe an energy/cycle because the waveform is not sine. Also, within the nonlinearity of the photon excitation of the aether, the velocity is different due to the nonlinearity. Photons must have a fixed size, commensurate with the electron orbital that can absorb it. Photons propagate completely differently than normal linearly excited EM waves.
Photons don't arise from Maxwell's equations because Maxwell's equations are a linear description of space. Maxwell believed there IS an aether and his equations reflect this. Even though the aether was not measured, they continued to use Maxwell's equations for normal EM excitation because they worked (proving there is an aether). Those that believe there is no aether cannot understand the possibility of a soliton solution for a photon. Soliton solutions require a nonlinear medium. From their perspective, if space is empty, how can "nothing" be nonlinear? From my perspective, the existence of photons provides another proof that there is an aether and it is nonlinear.
