The Higgs mechanism is central to the Standard Model, yet it treats the Higgs field as an independent fundamental scalar field without explaining its physical essence, the origin of its vacuum expectation value of 246 GeV, or the value of the Higgs boson mass. This paper fundamentally redefines the Higgs field and Higgs boson within the H-SET framework. The Higgs field is not an independent scalar field but rather the ground-state scalar fluctuation of the spatial density field---the low-energy excitation mode of local spatial density deviating from the background value. The Higgs boson is not a ``God particle'' but the smallest quantum unit of a scalar density wave propagating in the spatial medium. We derive the Higgs vacuum expectation value from a scaling relation involving the Planck mass and two dimensionless ratios of the spatial field, demonstrating that the electroweak scale emerges naturally from the suppression of the Planck scale by spatial dilution. The Higgs boson mass is determined by the nonlinear elastic modulus of the spatial density field, yielding 125.15 GeV, deviating less than 0.1 percent from experiment. The Higgs mechanism---particles acquiring mass through coupling to the Higgs field---is reinterpreted as the elastic resistance experienced by vortex rings moving through the spatial density field. The torsion screening factor that suppresses the vortex ring bare mass to the observed electron mass emerges naturally from the impedance mismatch between the vortex ring elastic frequency and the Higgs field characteristic frequency.
