Farsight sometimes goes beyond implying that a neutron is an excited state of a proton, to implying that a neutron contains a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. I say "implying" because his views on that subject can be difficult to interpret.

He also maintains that protons are photons traveling in a trefoil loop, with each handle being a quark. He justifies that by quoting Richard Feynman on how quarks are "partons", that is, parts. He also notes that protons and antiprotons make neutral pions, which decay into photons. That annihilation argument is his argument that electrons are made of photons traveling in a loop. Needless to say, he ignored annihilation into charged pions, as was described in this document on the discovery of the antiproton.

From experiments on smashing electrons and positrons into each other:
Backreaction: The Hadron-Muon Branching Ratio
Plots of cross sections and related quantities
The graph in Backreaction is a ratio of e+e- -> hadrons to e+e- -> muons.

Those results offer good evidence for quarks coming in three colors: the e+e- -> hadrons rate is otherwise too small by a factor of 3. The background rate also increases as each quark flavor goes above threshold. It also has some spikes or resonances for quark-antiquark bound states, and also for the Z particle.

About Z's and W's, Farsight claims that they are more like events than like "real" particles. In his mind, a "real" particle is long-lived, and a fundamental particle is stable.

This good agreement also requires using the Dirac theory of the electron, something that Farsight has refused to take seriously. The Dirac theory states that an electron is an elementary-particle field, like the photon, but different in various ways -- and certainly not a photon loop.
