Quantum field theory and general relativity are considered very successful theories that together describe the four fundamental forces in the universe. However, it is difficult to combine them into one unified theory. I propose a novel model, based on two postulates, which provides a new perspective on the fundamental forces using special and general relativity concepts. Many studies address the relations between the particles and the spacetime manifold, and the latter's physical structure, whether it is Continuous or Discrete. In the proposed model the properties of the particles are classical in the sense of general relativity, whereas their quantum properties arises due to the experiments, the differences of the inertial reference frames and energy values between the measurement device and the particles. I consider all of the discrete values of the particles to be constructed by an interference between fields. Under this approach I show that the model dismisses hidden variables. The model provides general field equations for the interactions of the particles, and their Lagrangian density, where the Lagrangian densities of Yang-Mills theory for SU(n), n=1,2,3,4, and of general relativity theory arises as a special cases.
