[tvf] "What then are we to assume will happen when two such unit particles collide?"
[Skarp] "No units (forms) composed of nothing will ever collide .... they interact."
A few points:
1) You did not answer the question. I assume you did not answer because you cannot.
2) You frequently make statemnts that seem non-sensical, because they use familliar words in non-familliar ways.
For example, most people know that a collision is a type of interaction. Despite this, you say that forms (real things, like protons and rabbit pellets, made from your hypothetical fundamental particles) interact but cannot collide.
===
It is possible that you have some other type of interaction in mind, but since you didn't explain what you meant I suppose we will never know.
It is more likely that you are just blowing smoke. (Trolling.)

Skarp,
Are you serious about trying to discuss an idea of some sort?
Communicating in general is not easy. (I'm sometimes amazed that it happens at all.) Communicating about technical and scientific matters is even harder. By engaging in troll-like behavior you reduce the chances that your idea will make sense to another mind.

[LB] You are trolling.
[Skarp] I don't know what you mean.
===
***[Skarp] "Tom's question was in regards to marbles. Since there are no marbles in an the analogous way he considers marbles to be, at least from my standpoint, there really is no point in answering in a way that would be to his liking."
No, his question was specifically about your fundamental "particle". Whether your particle resembles a marble, a swarm of bees, a wave or something none of us has ever seen is irrelevant as far as the question is concerned. (But it might be relevant in the answer.) Since you have not given us any details about your idea, he was asking for some.
(NOTE - this sort of "misunderstanding" is troll-like behavior.)
***[Skarp, quoting Skarp from earlier in the thread] "I realize this isn't the normal way of looking at things, so comprehension may not set in all that quickly."
This means you know that the <stuff> you are posting here is not understandable in its present form. And yet you post it without making any attempt to explain what you really mean.
(NOTE - this sort of "I wonder if thay can make sense of this" posting is troll-like behavior.)
***[Skarp] "Collide is a word that might be used for a pair of marbles hitting each other, where they weren't hitting beforehand."
Trivially true. It is a word that might be used for other things as well. So what? The real question is (still, after all this effort): "what does Skarp mean when he says this-or-that particular word?"
NOTE - this sort of verbal squirming (Tom calls it "word salad") to avoid explaining what you mean is troll-like behavior. Especially after someone has explicitly accused you of trolling.)
===
The only appropriate response at this point is for you to post definitions and/or explanations of all the words and phrases you believe could be misunderstood by someone that is not an expert on your idea.
