Here's a good analogy of the QVZPE field and matter:
https://gravityandlevity.wordpress.com/2015/08/20/a-childrens-picture-book-introduction-to-quantum-field-theory/
The author (physicist Brian Skinner) analogizes the QVZPE field to a bunch of balls connected to springs, and each ball is tied to its neighboring balls with elastic to constrain movement to only the vertical axis.
I've expanded the analogy to take into account matter. In contacting Mr. Skinner with my idea for expanding upon his analogy, he said matter constitutes a mass defect in the QVZPE field... so the analogy below seems especially apropos.
Essentially, the QVZPE field can be represented in classical form by a bunch of balls on vertical springs, and at the bottom of each ball-and-spring is a ratchet with several latches (each ratchet level representing a certain bit of matter such as an electron, proton, neutron, etc., which combine to form the elements of the Periodic Table). I've only included a small number of latches in my image above, but there would be one for each type of fundamental matter and one for each element which that fundamental matter makes up. In my image, you can see one ball-and-spring that's been compressed to the hydrogen level. I'm no artist, so forgive the rough artistry. Yes, I know the bottoms of the springs should all line up, but I did this in Paint, and thus don't have the ability to simulate a compressed spring or even a proper ratchet.
Each ball is connected to its neighboring ball-and-spring with elastic. In this ball-and-spring universe, the balls have to keep bouncing (ie: the QVZPE field is energetic) and must only bounce up and down by certain amounts (ie: the energy levels are quantized).
So a small wave of energy, which is below that which is required to cause the balls to bounce will produce no propagating waves across the ball-and-spring universe (unless that small wave constructively interferes with another wave sufficiently to cause a large enough resultant wave to cause the balls to bounce), and given that it's a universe, this means that energy below this threshold is not allowed (ie: there is a minimum energy level to the universe, a ground state).
Mass constitutes a "latched ratchet", where so much energy has been added to these ball-and-springs in a certain region that the ball-and-spring have been compressed and stuck, the ratchet has engaged and that spring remains permanently compressed (making mass permanent) until something trips that ratchet (ie: matter causes a "well" in the QVPZE field, which is what the fabric of space-time is, after all. For elements that are highly "compressed", the ratchet can 'slip', allowing that ball-and-spring to rise slightly (transmutation of heavy elements via radioactive decay)).
This 'latched ratchet' ball-and-spring no longer has to keep moving, it has "rest mass". Because that spring has its ratchet engaged, it cannot transmit the bouncing going on throughout the rest of the QVZPE field (ie: matter rejects QVZPE field modes longer than its radius), which tend to keep that spring's ratchet engaged (ie: the fact that matter rejects QVZPE field modes longer than its radius is what gives matter its mass).
But the QVZPE field still acts upon matter (via the elastic, or what we would call the Exchange Interaction), and thus matter is tied to and affected by the QVZPE field, and can affect the QVZPE field.
Now, it stands to reason that matter with less mass would be more affected by the QVZPE field (ie: electrons are so light they are tossed upon the QVZPE field modes so much that we sense them as waves, despite them having rest mass and thereby being matter), whereas heavier atoms are less affected (ie: it takes the highly energetic conditions of an exploding supernova to create mass further down the Periodic Table than iron).
Photons are perturbations upon the QVZPE field that don't cause the spring's ratchets to engage... but mass can be created from photons:

The same method by which heavier elements are created in an exploding supernova.

Breit and Wheeler suggested that it should be possible to turn light into matter by smashing together only two particles of light (photons), to create an electron and a positron – the simplest method of turning light into matter ever predicted. The calculation was found to be theoretically sound but Breit and Wheeler said that they never expected anybody to physically demonstrate their prediction.
