PARADIGM: The Standard Model recognizes two types of elementary fermions: quarks and leptons. In all, the model distinguishes 24 different fermions. There are six quarks (up, down, strange, charm, bottom and top quarks), and six leptons (electron, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau particle and tau neutrino), along with the corresponding antiparticle of each of these.

PARAMETERS
- Consider that, in the Physics Template, an elementary object is divisible into two or more subsidiary objects.
- Consider that, in the Physics Template, a fundamental object is indivisible.
- Consider
that, in the Current Paradigm, the least substantial objects
empirically identified are the elementary/fundamental fermions.
- Consider that, in the Physics Template, no fermion is fundamental.
- Consider that, in the Current Paradigm, there are 24 types of elementary fermion.
- Consider that each of the 24 elementary fermions has a different combination of charge, mass, and spin measures.
- Consider that the charge, mass, and spin measure of each type of the 24 elementary fermions is a constant.
REASONING
- Because there are 24 different types of elementary fermion, a mechanism is required to maintain the difference between them.
- Because there are only 24 types of elementary fermions, a mechanism is required to limit the number of them.
- Because
each elementary fermion has a type-specific measure of
charge, mass, and spin, a mechanism is required to maintain that
specificity.
- Because each type of elementary
fermion has constant measures of charge, mass, and spin, a mechanism is
required to maintain that constancy.
- Because a mechanism is required, assume that each elementary fermion is itself a mechanism.
- Because each elementary fermion is a mechanism, it must be a system of parts.
- Because each elementary fermion is a system of parts, it must by default consist of two or more parts.
- Thus:
each type of elementary fermion is a mechanism
consisting two or more parts. The parts are known hereafter as quants.
CONCLUSION
- That each type of elementary fermion consists of a minimum of two quants.

COMMENTARY
Every
Bedrock Template needs a "kickstarter" page to serve as the foundation
on which the rest of the template can be built. The above kickstarter
identifies the least substantial object in the Universe that in the
light of the currently known, empirically established, facts can be
assumed to exist.
To be acceptable, a Bedrock Template must
"selfprove". That is, it must evolve, while not omitting one known and
relevant fact, from something that is unknown into something that is
well known and well understood. That the Physics Template evolves from
elementary fermions made of quants into a Universe that looks and
behaves exactly like the one we see about us doesn't mean the Template
is fully correct but it suggests that it can be made to be so.
Note that this argument results in a conclusion.
A conclusion is drawn when the argument presents a single, selfevident,
outcome. This is the desired result for all argument but sometimes, due
to a lack of facts, an argument will present a number of options, none
of which is selfevidently right and all of which could be
satisfactorily evolved forward. In such circumstances, the option
selected for further evolution within the Template is an assumption. In the first six chapters of the Physics Template there are 12 assumptions and 121 conclusions.

GLOSSARY
- ASSUMPTION: When an argument leads to more than one outcome, the outcome selected is an assumption.
- CONCLUSION: When an argument leads to a single outcome, the outcome is a conclusion.
- CURRENT
PARADIGM: (after Thomas Kuhn) Those models
of astronomy, chemistry, cosmogony, and physics which, together, are
currently believed in the scientific community to be the most likely
description of the past, present, and future largescale structure of
the Universe, together with the currently acceptable methods of
research, interpretation, and verification.
- ELEMENTARY OBJECT: A primary object that is divisible into two or more subsidiary objects.
- FUNDAMENTAL OBJECT: A primary object that is indivisible.
- MECHANISM: A system of parts that operate or interact in a preordained manner to produce an expected result.
- OBJECT: Everything in the Universe that is a quant or is made out of quants is an object.
- TEEL:
The least substantial object in the Universe that, in the
light of the currently known, empirically established, facts can be
assumed to exist. quants are subsidiary parts of all more substantial
objects in cascade. Thus, elementary fermions consist of numbers of
quants and more substantial objects consist of numbers of
elementary
fermions, and so on.
