dc.descriptionWe identify natural degrees of freedom of polycrystalline materials -- affine transformations of grains -- with those of a three-dimensional lattice theory for $(T\otimesΩ)(\mathbb{R}^3)$. We define a lattice Dirac operator on this space and identify its continuous limit with the free field limit of the whole fermionic sector of the standard model. Fermion doubling is used here as a tool to obtain the necessary number of steps of freedom. The correspondence extends to important structural properties (families, colors, flavor pairs, electromagnetic charge). We find a lattice version of chiral symmetry similar to the Ginsparg-Wilson approach. This correspondence suggests to propose a ``polycrystalline ether''. Combined with GLET, a general Lorentz ether theory of gravity with GR limit, this becomes a concept for a theory of everything. The extension to gauge fields is the major open problem and requires new concepts.
