A physical foam boundaries: string and membranes. Basically, they're formed/defined by gradients of mass/energy density of environment.

The same thing, like in Newtonian mechanics. The AWT is Newtonian mechanics based, fullfilling the mass/energy conservation laws on the global level.

Every piece of tangible reality can be considered as an Aether fluctuation, being formed by gradient of Aether density. The quark concept of mainstream phycics is ambivalent - while the so called virtual quarks can be considered as a real particles in AWT, the meaning of classical quarks in AWT is quite different. We can call them as modes of spin vibrations. This is how the neutron and proton are composed of quarks by knot model, for example.
