> Dark matter may or may not exist but there is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about it

18% of matter is "regular" matter that interact with each other via bosons, and the other 82% is "dark" matter that doesn't interact with the known bosons. Could dark matter have its own "bosons"? Even more interesting, could dark matter be partitioned into various categories based on the "boson" they interact with? If so, perhaps the categories would have random but regularly distributed size ratios, for example:

* 25% of matter is zyzotic interacting via yetions

* 18% of matter is hadronic (i.e. quarks, leptons) interacting via bosons (i.e. photons, gluons, W, Z)

* 13% of matter is xenatic interacting via winnions

* 7% is vivacions interacting via ululons

* smaller partitions at 5%, 4%, 2%, 1.9%, 1.8%, 1.8%, 1.7%, 1.7%, 1.7%, 1.7%, etc etc etc

* there'd be millions of partitions overall

* the smallest partitions would consist of only 1 particle each (and perhaps its anti-particle) in the entire Universe

This would put various properties such as mass, etc of the hadronic particles as being randomly determined, perhaps quantumly, a split instance after the Big Bang.
