i haven't yet read it , but the writer is an advocate of bohmian mechanics so i guess there is an influence in this paper from bohm mech.
( ill read it tommorrow).
anyway i think with this kind of a title to paper it should catch some attention, don't you think?

Quite interesting and mathematized this picture,but i couldn't see how he dealt with the problem itself:deing able to treat on equal footing spin different particles.He gave an example with an electron and a muon,which are both soin 1/2 particles.I wonder how his equations would look for an electron and a meson.

If the tiniest particle is of one type, then it should be possible to create a computer simulation where this can be show. eg. consider a particle G. as everything has gravity.

Came across the following when researching this subject:

Are All Particles Identical? by
Sheldon Goldstein, James Taylory, Roderich Tumulkaz, and Nino Zanghox PACS numbers 03.65.Ta. (foundations of quantum mechanics) published September 28, 2004

I subscribe to the view thar all particles are identical because it is a simple matter to construct a model where all particles carry the same linear force.
