Source abstract

Abstract A unified field theory of mesons and their particle sources is proposed and considered in its classical aspects. The theory has static solutions of a singular nature, but finite energy,characterized by spin directions; the number of such entities is a rigorously conserved constant of motion; they interact with an external meson field through a derivative-type coupling with the spins, akin to the formalism of strong-coupling meson theory. There is a conserved current identifiable with isobaric spin, and another that may be related to hyper-charge. The postulates include one constant of the dimensions of length, and another that is conjectured necessarily to have the value ђc, or perhaps ½ђc, in the quantized theory.
