Cool because traditional QM wave function waves are not electromagnetic waves even though they seem to be the same thing in a double slit experiment.
What happens to the Higgs field excitation and the Higgs boson, given the experiments confirming their existence? If this paper explains phenomena more effectively, does it require us to reinterpret these findings?
What this paper appears to be doing (although I can't make complete sense of it) is to somehow derive Maxwell's Equations (or more precisely a nonlinear generalization of them--which seems to me to mean that they aren't actually deriving electromagnetism, but let that go) as a property of the geometry of spacetime alone, without any abstract spaces or extra dimensions or anything of that sort.
That phenotype is well-represented in mathematical physics.

I'm not sure if that's exactly it.
Question: Is there any relationship between this and Axiomatic Thermodynamics? I recall that also uses differential geometry.

That is, the same deal as with gravity in GR.

But it can't be quite "the same deal", because gravity obeys the equivalence principle, and electromagnetism does not. (Nor do the other known fundamental interactions.) The paper does not appear to address this at all.
