...it then begs the question: What is the "substance" of that SOL electric-conduction "signal"?

It would have to be a massless substance, like a photon.

However a photon to be the constituent of the substance making up an SOL "signal" in an electric current would be problematic in an opaque metal conductor.
That's how I see it.
