Abstract:

According to the postulate of the fundamental matters and the principle of relativity, we write down the basic determinant Lagrangian of “pregeometry”, from which geometrodynamics, or Einstein's gravity, is derived. The metric and, therefore, the space-time distance itself appear as composites of lepton-antilepton and quark-antiquark pairs.
