Abstract
A physical model of the electron is suggested according to the basic structures of
matter (BSM) hypothesis. BSM is based on an alternative concept about the
physical vacuum, assuming that space contains an underlying grid structure of
nodes formed of superdense subelementary particles, which are also involved in
the structure of the elementary particles. The proposed grid structure is formed of
vibrating nodes that possess quantum features and energy well. It is admitted that
this hypothetical structure could account for the missing “dark matter” in the
universe. The signature of this dark matter is apparent in the galactic rotational
curves and in the relation between masses of the supermassive black hole in the
galactic center and the host galaxy. The suggested model of the electron possesses
oscillation features with anomalous magnetic moment and embedded signatures
of the Compton wavelength and the fine-structure constant. The analysis
of the interactions between the oscillating electron and the nodes of the vacuum
grid structure allows us to obtain physical meaning for some fundamental constants.
