“…In Dirac equation (14) for the chiral representation of gamma matrices (35) and (36) the mass term mixes the two 2-spinors unlike the separation embodied in Eqs. (39) and (40) here. To get physical interpretation of four components of ψ in Dirac equation a simplified assumption of plane wave solution and rest frame is often made [14,32] : two positive energy and two negative energy spinors are obtained corresponding to spin up and spin down states of electron and positron respectively where effectively only 2-component spinors are present.…”

“…However Eqs. (39) and (40) do not lead to second order Klein-Gordon equation for the spinors; it is, of course, expected because of the nonrelativistic approximation we made for separation. The last term on the left side of these equations is, therefore termed mass-like since it is easy to verify that plane wave solution in the rest frame gives rise to this interpretation.…”

The dimensionless electromagnetic coupling constant α = e 2 /hc may have three interpretations: as the well known ratio between the electron charge radius e 2 /mc 2 and the Compton wavelength of electron λc =h/mc, as a ratio of two angular momenta since Planck constant has the dimension of angular momentum, and two flux quanta e and hc/e. The anomalous part of the electron magnetic moment together with the unified picture of the three interpretations of α is suggested to have deep physical significance. The electric charge is proposed to be a new quantum of flux that leads to a new model of the electron envisaging a two-vortex structure. In analogy with quantum conditions we postulate sub-quantum conditions applicable in a region of the order of λc replacingh by a universal constant f = e 2 /2πc and apply it to Dirac equation in internal space that gives rise to the anomalous magnetic moment of electron. Dirac spinor and 2-spinor representation for vortex structure of electron in the single particle Dirac framework are discussed. The role of sub-quantum rules and the internal variables for developing the present ideas is also debated. A critical discussion on the past attempts to give fundamental importance to magnetism and flux quantum is given to delineate the new ideas in the present work.

“…It could be argued that the failed attempts perhaps indicate that the right conceptual issues were not raised, and new ideas were missing [7]. For example, the quantization of charge in the unit of electronic charge e intrigued Dirac to propose magnetic monopole, however the most fundamental question as to the nature and origin of charge has not been asked [7,9]. In a radical departure from the classical models and the QED paradigm we proposed a new spatio-temporal bounded field approach.…”

“…We are led to the hypothesis that electron spin has a fractional part f 2 , if expressed in units of Planck constant, and the electron charge has a mechanical origin as some kind of rotation. For further elucidation of this hypothesis see [9,10], and vortex model of the spatio-temporal bounded internal fields is developed in [11,12].…”

The electron magnetic moment decomposition calculated in QED is proposed to have origin in a multi-vortex internal structure of the electron. This proposition is founded on two important contributions of this work. First, a critical review on Weyl model of electron, Einstein–Rosen bridge and Wheeler’s wormholes leads to a new idea of a topological defect in cylindrical spacetime geometry as a natural representation of the electron. A concrete realization of this idea in terms of the derivation of a new vortex-metric, and its physical interpretation to establish the geometric origin of the electron magnetic moment decomposition constitute the second contribution. Remarkable occurrence of a vortex structure in the basis mode function used in BLFQ is also pointed out indicating wider ramification of the proposed electron model.
