The Short Version
The evidence supports dynamic origins of mass but not the claim’s universal ontological conclusion. Most hadronic mass emerges from QCD dynamics, while Standard Model elementary particles acquire mass through Higgs interactions. Whether those interaction-generated masses are “emergent” rather than intrinsic is definition-dependent, and unexplained Yukawa couplings, neutrino masses, and physics beyond the Standard Model prevent an unqualified statement about all fundamental entities.
