A New Approach to the Geometrization of Matter

We show that the sum over geometries in the Lorentzian 4-D state sum model for quantum GR in [1] includes terms which correspond to geometries on manifolds with conical singularities. Natural approximations suggest that they can be interpreted as gauge bosond for the standard model, plus fermions plus matter.
