Sorry I do. There is the answer the physicists give us. Bosons are particles of force and fermions are particles of matter.
Bosons have a mathematical property of an integer spin.
They exhibit it because the Pauli exclusion principle. The principle doesn't explain anything to me. Except that's a basic rule of the universe. Enter Ilya Prigogine. He doesn't talk about bosons or fermions, but his analysis of equilibrium and non-equilibrium dynamics provides what I think as basis for understanding the difference.
