We put forward the following, physically motivated premiss for constructing a theory that underlies the standard model in four-dimensional space-time: The Euler-Lagrange equations of such a theory formally resemble some equations of motion underlying fluid-dynamics equations in the kinetic theory of gases. In support of this premiss, we point out local and covariant Lagrangians whose Euler-Lagrange equations contain a subsystem equivalent to the Euler-Lagrange equations of the standard model with covariantly regularized propagators, and a subsystem describing faster-than-light effects.
