Force Field and Unified Field Theory

As has been previously developed here, on the basis of Kant's premises--Attraction and Repulsion are the two fundamental, complementary forces, any combination of which constitutes a 'Field', a special case of which is a 'particle'.  Together, these propositions comprise the basis of what could be called a 'Unified Field Theory'.  Of course, though, that rubric is better known as referring to four so-called 'forces'--Gravity, Strong Interaction, Weak Interaction, and Electromagnetism--most of which involve, arguably, attraction, while some of which involve, arguably, repulsion, with various particles as their independent substrata.  So, the standard version of the theory is plainly more incoherent that the proposed alternative, beginning with a confusion of 'force' and 'field', i. e. if it is granted that Attraction and Repulsion are fundamental 'forces', then Gravity, etc. are distinguished as 'fields', not as 'forces'.  Furthermore, the alternative already surpasses the standard by accounting for the existence of Matter, without recourse to conceptual gimmickry such as 'anti-matter' or 'dark matter'.  Thus, given that it is generally acknowledged that the standard theory remains stalled in achieving its ambition, perhaps a more systematic approach, such as the one proposed here, might be an improvement.
