It is by looking at management that gives a clue as to the balancing of the energies of space, that is assuming a series of connected energies. In management the most rigid and least changing parts of a team are the top and the bottom while middle management has to be the most flexible of all.

To avoid the possibility of irregularity of simple cross connection within structure one option is to associate the top and the bottom known entities a direct link and let the middle work out a multitude of variations within.

That would give an end to end structure for the proton as a worm hole which means a time like quality along its length. So the stability of the proton may have more in common with the perceived expansion of the universe and just be a part of planetary solar or galactic matter more by way of association. That is why I looked at the option of something similar to a goiter that is able to be moved fairly freely around the line of where it is connected and perhaps associated with a right angle corner of connection between lead in and lead out.

Then all middle structures would have to be worked out based on the proximity it has to the end structures which allows for a multitude of connection types in the middle. Perhaps unlike some business hierarchies the communication would not be dominated by the need from the middle to sort out the vagaries of the top and the bottom but the middle although allowing incredible variation would conform to the unity and connection of top and bottom.

Otherwise it is a bizarro second universe style connection which could not exactly be ruled out provided it gave the same level of stability to top perceived uniformity of space and bottom stability of the proton. Given the sheer order of magnitude of difference in calculated energy requirements I favor the beginning to end in structure and also note how often by just working off the top of my head that I have been wrong.
