Or a Bosun.
Higgs-Bosons beat Bosuns (and for that matter, Bisons) any day -- they have infinite potentiality for massiveness and for holding things together (integrating), while bisons and bosuns have finite actual mass. Perhaps there is a useful symbol of the primordial state waiting to be discovered out there is the particle accelerators!

Dukkham eva hi, na koci dukkhito,
kaarako na, kiriyaa va vijjati,

maggam atthi, gamako na vijjati
Suffering there certainly is, but no sufferer,
no doer, though certainly the deed is found.
peace is achieved, but no-one's appeased,
the way is walked, but no walker's to be found.
