Fermions Are Square Root Of Bosons
In the multiway graphs, bosons are conjectured to be associated with branchings that merge very quickly while fermions are associated with branchings that do not merge quickly and end up at opposite sides of branchial space; at a mathematical level fermions are like the square root of bosons because they branch without merging well, offering a route to deriving the spin statistics theorem.

“you actually will then sort of see the fermions are kind of the square root of the bosons, because the fermions are... It just branches. It doesn't do... It doesn't merge as well, whereas the bosons are both, it branches and it merges.”
