The old idea that the photon is a Goldstone boson emergent from a spontaneously broken theory of interacting fermions is revisited. It is conjectured that the gauge-potential condensate has a vacuum expectation value which is very large, perhaps the GUT/Planck momentum scale, but that the magnitude of the effective potential which generates it is very small, so small that in the limit of vanishing cosmological constant it would vanish. In this way, the threat of unacceptably large observable, noncovariant residual effects is mitigated. The linkage of these ideas to other speculative ideas involving black holes and parametrizations of Standard-Model coupling constants is also described.

Lorentz Breaking and SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y Gauge Invariance for Neutrino Decays
A fully SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y gauge-invariant model is built where flavor-dependent neutrino velocities still allow neutrino splitting and pair emission, so gauge invariance does not forbid the decays.

Emergent Gauge Symmetries in Particle Physics and Cosmology
Gauge symmetries of the Standard Model are suggested to be emergent, with an emergence scale of about 10^16 GeV making dark energy density similar in magnitude to light Majorana neutrino masses.
