Electron is a charge, what means concrete configuration of electric field, growing to infinity in the center (if it would be a point particle).
It is also a magnetic dipole moment - concrete configuration of magnetic field growing to infinity.
And a mass - concrete configuration of gravitational field, again growing to infinity in the center.
...
So particle is a sophisticated localized configuration of fields - is it also something more?
If there would be such configuration identical to of some particle, would it be already this particle, or there still would be something missing?
Stable, localized configurations of fields are generally called solitons - are particles solitons? (there are quantization methods for solitons and topological solitons like fluxons undergo quantum phenomenas like interference)
