Spin as Emergent Self-Interaction: A New Perspective from Augmented Newtonian Dynamics (AND) Theory
Abstract: The intrinsic spin of the electron has long posed a conceptual challenge within quantum mechanics. Traditionally described as an innate quantum number without classical analogue, spin resists intuitive explanation. AND Theory offers a new perspective, proposing that electron spin arises as an emergent property of the electron's self-regulation via virtual photon interactions. These interactions are isotropic and continuous, forming a dynamic equilibrium that preserves the electron?s energy and identity. In this framework, spin is not a mysterious intrinsic quality, but the angular character of a nonlinear, self-sustaining process rooted in the electron?s internal activity. This reinterpretation not only demystifies spin but offers a unified explanation for associated quantum phenomena such as magnetic moment, spin quantization, the Pauli exclusion principle, the periodic table and fine structure in atomic spectra.
