The method explored in the paper is to deny self action altogether, and adopt the direct action version of classical electrodynamics. The focus of the paper is on the behavior of classical charges in their allegedly pre-mass condition. The author starts the investigation with the simplest possible version of classical electrodynamics: with the particle stripped of mechanical mass and radiation reaction, and the fields stripped of vacuum degrees of freedom and time-asymmetry. It is hypothesized that these qualities will emerge upon assembly and interaction of multiple charges constrained by particular boundary conditions. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1049.78001].
