I'm sure this is not what Hubey had in mind, but basically you
use a quantum gauge theory with SU(3) symmetry and two Higgs fields
to break the symmetry. Almost immediately you will find solutions
to the differential equations that correspond to photons, electrons,
protons and neutrons. A little more work will get you the periodic
table of elements. Extension to molecular biology and evolution is
left as an exercise for the student.

P.S. The Higgs fields are a little ugly, but all you really need
is something to break the symmetry and give electrons and protons
mass.
