Electromagnetism

Electromagnetism was a powerful fundamental force and one of the two great forces capable of acting on a macroscopic level, the other being gravity. Electromagnetism was responsible for the existence of atoms, as it alone allowed charged leptons to orbit charged hadrons and nuclei. Electromagnetism was also responsible for interactions between atoms (chemistry), and by extension all biological life. Electromagnetism was also responsible for electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetism was carried by photons and was over 1000 times stronger than Mutationism, although it was 100 times weaker than Gluism.

Triality
Electromagnetism could be of positive, negative or neutral nature. The positive and negative duality of electromagnetism was responsible for electromagnetic charge, making particles with opposite charges (positive to negative) attractive to one another, and particles with like charges (positive to positive) repulsive to one another. This was the basis for the arrangement of electrons and protons into atoms, as well as electricity and magnetism. Neutral electromagnetism was the basis for electromagnetic radiation, known as light. This involved the release of free photons of various wavelengths.

Atoms
Atoms, the main constituents of matter, were held together by electromagnetism. Positive protons were located in the nuclei of the atoms and negative electrons orbited around these nuclei. The repulsion between protons was countered by gluism. However, with large nuclei, gluism could weaken and electromagnetism could eject parts of the nucleus. To counter this, nuclei could be stabilized using ligism.

Radiation
Electromagnetic radiation was composed of free photons travelling in a straight line through space. The type of electromagnetic radiation depended on the energy of the free photons.
