What do you mean? We know quite well how electromagnetism arises from U(1) symmetry in gauge theory. What else is there to know?

What does U(1) symmetry in gauge theory arise from?
It's turtles all the way down.
Not from bribes and/or moving faster than the regulators. Altman's projects, on the other hand...
At some point the answer is “because that’s what reality is.”
If by "reality" you mean "the universe", then the way the universe is depends on a cause, as the existence of the universe is not explained by the universe itself (even an "eternal" universe). Its existence is contingent on some other cause that ultimately cannot be contingent and thus does not require explanation.
So the cause or dare I say reason for the universe being the way it is will depend on its cause.

I said why, not how, for a reason. I did expect some idiots to come around arguing though.
In science, it is the same thing.
