Does some new particle of physics manifest itself during steady-state?

The two questions are not equivalent. Yours is ludicrous.

Well, if no new particles manifest during steady-state, why wouldn't
the transient state and the steady-state follow exactly the same laws
of physics? Does something supernatural happen at the transient-state
to steady-state threshold? Or not? (Hint: rhetorical question)

Sorta like this:
"Measured near field photons may simply recombine with the antenna's
free electrons and not contribute to far field radiation."

Hmmmmm, I doubt that Feynman would find that statement to be "ludicrous".
I wonder if "ludicrous" is the term the priests used when they condemned
Galileo to house arrest for agreeing with Copernicus? :-) Photons re-
combining with electrons in the near field is a really simple concept.

On second thought, maybe you are inferring that the measured photons cannot
recombine? I would agree with that but the measured photons are negligible
compared to the total number of photons involved in the near field.
