Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I think my reply will end up being a bit long for the comment box! So I figured I'd make it another post.
Your first question, yes you are right but I learnt that in academia, a real ZPE is not generally accepted but that might soon change. There are alternative explanations for phenomenon like the Casimir effect but I do share your perspective, this and many other observed phenomena prove the existence of a ZPF. The problem is that if it is real then it is also likely that ZPE is real and that means there is a reservoir of energy with a much greater density than matter-antimatter annihilation. By the way well spotted on Hawkings view of phase change.
Secondly, yes I agree, in essence there is an underlying DNA as it were but according to SEDS all quantum effects occur after matter has been quantised due to interaction with the ZPF. SEDS says that this is why QED can work without considering a real vacuum, since it is dealing with matter after it has already interacted with the ZPF, I guess the same can be said for other interpretations like MWI and string theory but my knowledge of those interpretations aren't deep enough for a definitive statement. However, I can add that a quark like a boson is a fundamental particle and under the idea I already discussed in the previous post, it may be that it is produced by plank scale interactions infinitesimally smaller than quarks. A boson is a particle of force a quark is one of matter, however, these postulated plank pairs are suggested to be the source of the standard model. That I think is perhaps another reason for the resistance to the acceptance of SEDS, either ways time will tell.
