sure. obviously the substance/building block of the Universe is energy, whaterever about the laws/information(software of this matrix).
I was out sick the day we did particle physics! but i always thought photons to be the smallest particle.
My gut instinct has always been that there is one fundamental particle, which builds all others.
I think one fundamental particle, that has just two states, on/off , expanding/contracting etc. would be enough to draw the Universe.
Obviously, positivistically, my theory is influenced by the proven sucess of the binary system in computing.
Furthermore, this fundamental expanding or contracting particle is actually our Universe life-cycling in and out through every permutation/parallel Universe.
now you see why i started this in pseudoscience!

Thanks for that, only 208 pages, i may just be capable of finishing it. I've added it to my 'to get' list, after the complete works of Spinoza.
