Quantum Fields Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Gribbin (1989: 257):

But the field is now the ultimate, fundamental concept in physics, because quantum physics tells us that particles (material objects) are themselves manifestations of fields. One of the first great surprises of quantum physics was the realisation that a particle, such as an electron, had to be treated like a wave. In this first application of quantum principles, we learn to treat these matter waves as fields, with one field corresponding to each type of particle.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, a quantum field is a reconstrual of quantum potential as an abstract space that is mapped onto the dimensions of space-time.  As a manifestation of a quantum field, a particle is an instantiation of quantum potential.
