My proton still has a hole, it is a torus

And that is mass. The hole makes the atom sparse and neutrinos can pass through allowing us to have a tendency to continue along a path of motion.

The proton has a hole because no other organization of vacuum can match the curvature of symmetric charge at the center of closure.  

The inability to get closure with a small N is because there is no empty space, just the vacuum quants. It is the bandwidth of light versus the compression of finite tiny things. So all mass has a different one unique configuration of vacuum at its center, the necessary result of aliasing.

The torus in the proton should follow the quadruple Markov sequence if it has integer closure. The vacuum is a real, quantized  aether
