The Origin Of Matter Viewed Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Davies & Gribbin (1992: 148):

The fact that particle-antiparticle pairs can be created from energy (it does not even have to be electromagnetic energy) opens the way to an explanation of where the material of the Universe has come from. As we have seen, the big bang triggered processes capable of generating huge quantities of energy, and some of this energy would have gone into creating matter. It is therefore no longer necessary to postulate ad hoc that matter was simply present at the outset. Its existence can now be attributed to physical processes occurring in the primeval phase of the cosmos.

From the perspective of Quantum Theory, interpreted through Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory, the (self-engendered) origin of the Universe can be understood as an initial instantiation of potential, including the potential for processes to unfold (energy), and the potential for the media through which processes unfold (particles).
