Preprint explores electron properties from single structure in one medium, suggesting new insights into vacuum state.

The aim is to determine if fundamental properties of the electron can be derived from a single medium's structure rather than as independent inputs.
Develops a continuous manifold with a deformation represented by a complex field governed by a Mexican-hat functional.
Utilizes the concepts from Ginzburg–Landau and Higgs theory to formulate the relationships between electron characteristics.
Derives properties via axioms and unit bridges, relying on the measured values of speed, mass, and charge.
Charge is derived as a winding number, indicating topological quantization without spatial extent implications.
The leading order gives g-factor as 2, while an untwisted state would yield g-factor of 1, contradicting observations.
The framework achieves a closure count for fine-structure constant α⁻¹ that closely matches experimental values, with negligible fitting to data.
