Yes, this is sort of how I'm thinking, but my pregeometric minimal systems
occur
at a level beneath that of particles -- particles are perhaps equivalence
classes
of minimal systems or some such?

Well Matti, I can't yet follow you into infinity-land, but maybe next month
after I get time to read your stuff ;)
