Electron Energy Homeostasis

Abstract and Introduction
Quanta absorption by electron spots represents "quanta capture" by the electron bit cycle as described previously [1] [2]. In electron spots with E = 1 or E = 2, where E is number quanta (0 to 6), quanta absorption and emission events exhibit homeostatic properties which act to regulate or limit spot energy content. These effects are consistent with accepted models that absorption yields an excited electron state and emission represents return to a ground state. The present analysis aims to clarify the physical mechanisms in these processes.

Fig. 1: Quanta Capture by Electron Spot


Electron Spot Quanta Capture
Fig. 1 illustrates two simple examples of electron spot absorption without emission events, called "bit cycle quanta capture", with only one incoming quanta (orange arrow) at initial state t = 0, where tick t is the quantized time interval [3]. Possible effects of the scalar (S, electrostatic) and vector (V, magnetic) bit operations are omitted in the assumed absence of their respective potentials [4]. With SUVF bit operations order, the unconditional (U) and strong (F) bit operations occur in ticks t = 2, 6 and t = 4 respectively. The incoming quanta is shown along the Y axis as an example of possible zero to three incoming 1-state bits along combinations of the X, Y and Z axes.

An electron spot at E = 0 absorbs a quanta as a M bit at t = 2:U, which shifts to a L bit locus at t = 6:U (Fig. 1A). In Fig. 1B, with E = 1 and the spot M quanta is not adjacent to the incoming quanta at t = 0, the unconditional operation results in a Y axis M quanta as before and a Z axis L quanta at t = 2:U. Then the L quanta "scatters" to a X axis M quanta at t = 4:F. Finally, at t = 6:U, both quanta shift to L bit loci.

In sum, quanta absorption may be equivalent to capture with transitions from E = 0 to 1 and from E = 1 to 2. These events are called bit cycle capture since the number of quanta in the spot (E) will not change in the absence of both electromagnetic (S or V) potentials affecting M bit motion and further incoming quanta.

Electron Spot Absorption-Emission Events
In Fig. 2A, the unconditional operation shifts the incoming quanta to the Y axis M locus as in Fig. 1 and the X axis M quanta shifts to the L locus. This sets up an interesting situation at t = 4:F, namely that the strong force evaluates to zero [4] since the destination Y axis M locus is occupied (1-state). Therefore, at t = 6:U, a X axis M quanta (orange circle) is emitted into the adjacent matter red d quark spot with the net result that the initial and final electron spot energy content is unchanged (E = 1).

When an incoming quanta is adjacent to a M quanta along the same axis, the net result is emission of one quanta along the same axis leaving spot E unchanged (Fig. 2B). In this scenario, note that at t = 2:U, both Y axis M and L loci are 1-state, which is defined as inertia p = ML = 1. With inertia p = 1 at t = 4:F, the strong force potential is zero [5]. Therefore, the Y axis L quanta does not scatter during t = 4:F, but rather is emitted at t = 6:U.

Finally, the "main event". Fig. 2C examines what happens according to the time-development laws (bit operations) when the t = 0 initial states in Fig. 2A and 2B are combined where the initial electron spot energy content is now E = 2. At t = 2:U, the schematic is an exact combination of the states shown above. The "punch-line" of the "main event" occurs at t = 4:F, where, as described above, one strong operation, X-to-Y scattering, is blocked by the 1-state destination bit (Fig 2A) and another strong operation is blocked with Y axis inertia p = 1 (Fig. 2B). Consequently, at t = 6:U, two quanta are emitted reducing electron spot energy content from E = 2 to E = 1.

Discussion
Electron Energy Homeostasis. This article walks through steps of energy quanta capture by electron spots (Fig. 1) and quanta absorption-emission sequences (Fig. 2). A main perhaps surprising result was that spots containing two quanta may emit two quanta after absorption of only one quanta thus reducing spot energy content from E = 2 to E = 1 (Fig. 2C). Several analogies might be relevant. First, the electron spot appears to act as a sort of capacitor which can be "charged" and "discharged". A second concept might be homeostasis, namely that increased energy content acts as a "stimulus" to elicit a "response" of energy content reduction as negative feedback triggered by incoming quanta. In addition, the electron spot may act as a radiation amplifier, when spots adjacent to an electron spot may receive quanta "output" equal to twice the electron spot "input".

Lepton-Mediated Proton Motion. Fig. 2 illustrates instances of lepton-mediated proton motion [6], where the lepton is an electron spot. The incoming quanta (orange arrow) is in a Y axis green d quark spot (not shown) in the proton bit cycle of another adjacent spot cube. In a six tick interval, this quanta is transferred to another proton bit cycle based in the electron's spot cube, to a matter red d quark spot (Fig. 2A) or matter green d quark spot (Fig. 2B).

Take-Home Messages. The present analysis of selected electron spot initial states and incoming quanta requires full quantization of space, time and energy. Legacy, partial quantum mechanics is incomplete, impaired by failure to upgrade to space-time-energy quantization. Specifically, energy quantization was required, recalling that Planck's constant is only a step in that direction, being an energy-time product. Second, space quantization was required to determine the physical size of energy quanta loci. Time quantization was required to demonstrate that light velocity could be derived from first principles of binary mechanics [7]. In summary, full quantization was required to quantize the units of measurement -- mass (energy expressed in kg), length and time and use this information to derive Planck's constant and other constants for the first time from first principles [3].

Future Work. 1) Describe electron absorption-emission events including electron energies up to E = 6 and number of simultaneous incoming quanta (1 to 3). 2) This information might be used to derive certain spectrums, say, for hydrogen, based on the energy transitions alone or together with frequency components in variations in quanta leaving the simulated volume ("outbits" in *.csv ouput file). 3) Explore absorption-emission events in the proton bit cycle which is more complicated than the electron cycle (7x more bit loci, spot types and revolution time) [8].
