Abstract
In quantum mechanics (QM), the electron of spin-charge, ±1/2 in probabilistic distribution about a nucleus of an atom is described by non-relativistic Schrödinger wave equation. Its transformation to Dirac fermion of a complex four-component spinor is incorporated into relativistic quantum field theory (QFT) based on Dirac theory. The link between QM and QFT on the basis of space-time structure remains lacking without the development of a proper, complete theory of quantum gravity. In this study, how a proposed MP model of 4D space-time mimicking hydrogen atom type is able to combine both QM and QFT into a proper perspective is explored. The electron of a point-particle and its transformation to Dirac fermion appears consistent with Dirac belt trick while sustaining unitarity of spin-charge and wave-particle duality with center of mass reference frame relevant to Newtonian gravity assigned to the point-boundary of the spherical model. Such a tool appears dynamic and is compatible with basic aspects of both QM and QFT such as non-relativistic wave function and its collapse, quantized Hamiltonian, Dirac spinors, Weyl spinors, Marjorana fermions and Lorentz transformation. How all these relate to space-time curvature for an elliptical orbit without invoking a framework of space-time fabric is plotted for general relativity and a multiverse of the MP models at a hierarchy of scales is proposed for further investigations.

- The electron defined by and its shift in positions, 0, 1, 2, 3 of continuity is envisioned for four-component complex spinor. The stretching of its elliptical orbit or MP field resembles Dirac’s string. Suppose the vertices of both the south and north poles are stretched out, the electron is expected to transit back and forth by DBT irrespective of the distance of separation. In the case, a dipole moment of weak electromagnetic field is generated beyond lightspeed by the particle’s motion and this somewhat parallels quantum entanglement or spooky action at a distance. Interception of the electron by traversing light waves or magnetic field should depict the characteristics of either the south or north poles or its hybrid state leaning towards either of the positions.
- The two interchangeable hemispheres of the MP field of ±1/2 spin-charge by clockwise precession adheres to Pauli exclusion principle and these accommodate the electron shift in positions 0 → 8 by the process of DBT of continuity at spherical lightspeed. Time reversal for the emergence of antimatter is assumed by clockwise precession in accordance with 2nd law of thermodynamics. Entanglement by von Neumann entropy for the polarization states of qubits, 0, 1 and hypercharge –1 (for z-axis mimicking nuclear isospin) at the vertex of the MP field for COM reference frame somehow upholds the holographic principle. Its translation to Shannon entropy is by light-MP model coupling with unitarity by Euler’s formula, + 1 = 0 in real space sustained.
- The electron at the vertex of the MP field at position 0 mimics monopole instanton (MI). It offers the base point for transmission of vortex electron through a helical solenoid which intersects topological torus of BO at n-dimensions by levitation between two hemispheres of the MP field. The base point presents COM reference frame from the electron-positron transition with time reversal orbit of the electron balanced out by clockwise precession in accordance with Newton’s second law of motion. The COM is about Planck length ~ 1.62 x 10-35 meters) is aligned to the principal axis or z-axis of the MP field as nuclear isospin (about 1.1 angstroms for the hydrogen atom) and it depicts arrow of time in asymmetry. Infinitesimal radiation of Planck constant, is assumed from twisting and unfolding process of the electron-positron transition by DBT at COM. It can cater for ZPE of the hydrogen atom at ultraviolet range in a potential well of a harmonic oscillator, for the value of -13.60 electronvolts.
- In flat Euclidean space-time of inertia frame (Figure 1a), any deviation from z-axis of the MP field by precession is trivial, (Figure 1d) and time remains absolute from a background of clock face with distances between any two points being positive and COM is assigned to point-boundary at position 0 as mentioned above. The electron position in space within the model is defined by the Cartesian coordinates, x, y, z. At positions 1 and 3 or 5 and 7, electron-positron transition of superposition states obey Born’s rule, and acquires spin angular momentum to mimic Weyl spinor of Minkowski space-time (Figure 1b). Hyperbolic surface of the light-cone of holonomic is contained within hypersurface of the MP field of Euclidean space towards position 0 of ZPE at N-1. Balancing out of charges at homomorphic positions 1, 3 and 5, 7 is isomorphic to compact topological torus of BO. By clockwise precession, time is relative, i.e., with (Figure 1c). By Lorentz transformation in 1D for accelerated reference frame, the volume or dipole moment of the MP field remains constant so, and with Lorentz factor, and and . Its invariance, and sustains the unitarity of the model. Observation by light-MP model coupling is confined to the electron and its motion and this can relate to Lorentz transformation with any outgoing radiation being of linear time. In this way, 4D Minkowski space-time (Figure 1b) is applicable to multidimension of Euclidean space-time (Figure 1a) with COM by Newtonian gravity assigned to position 0 as mentioned above.
- Singularity towards the nucleus is constrained by the dipole moment of the MP field to generate an irreducible spinor. Stochastic behavior from the emergence of envelop solitons at positons 2 and 6 insinuates a chaotic system. Combined with the quantum critical region of the light-cones at positions 1 and 3, the quest towards quantum critical point at the baseline of the hemisphere remains elusive by quantum chaos of butterfly effect for the hydrogen atom (e.g., Figure 1a). Such intuition is important in the pursuit of quantum critical point in condensed matter physics for an array of atoms in one-dimensional line.
- The electron is a point-particle at constant motion, mv acquires and further offers wave-particle duality for the overall spherical reference frame, in accordance with de Broglie relationship. In this case, ±h is assigned to the electron-positron transition of a sinusoidal orbital. The electron is defined by the wave function, and its orbit of time reversal by time derivative is accorded to Schrödinger equation, . It is a fundamental equation with the basis vector, and assumed into Minkowski space-time (Figure 1c) against z-axis as time axis and x-axis equal to distance.
- The electron’s spin-charge of superposition states is linked to BO of topological torus defined by and this is projected in the x-y plane (Figure 1c). Its inner product, sustains unitarity for the electron of weak isospin into n-dimensions of topological torus by disturbance (Figure 1d). The electron’s position can be split into both radial and angular wave functions, . The radial part, is attributed to the principal quantum number, n and angular momentum, l of a light-cone with respect to r (Figure 1c). The angular part, of degenerate states, is assigned to the BO defined by both and (Figure 1d).
- The BO of a constant structure, ɑ is orthogonal to z-axis by linearization (Figure 1d). Its tangential link to electron-positron pair of anticommutation is, for continuous derivation of MP field due to clockwise precession. Linear translation of n-dimensions or n-levels by Fourier transform is by the generalized state, and this is standardized to the z-axis. By continuity, the sum of expansion coefficients, , from the electron’s position offers the expectant value, with its probability given as, .
