The Electron Monad: The One-Electron Universe Revisited: A Monistic Model of Quantum Spacetime

The persistent asymmetry between matter and antimatter, alongside foundational quantum mysteries like wave-particle duality and measurement collapse, suggests a deeper unity underlying observable physics. We revisit John Wheeler’s speculative "one-electron universe" hypothesis, proposing a geometric reinterpretation where all electrons and positrons are manifestations of a single, Planck-scale braided worldline in spacetime. By treating antiparticles as time-reversed segments of this worldline and the vacuum as a self-annihilating network of unobserved interactions, we derive quantum phenomena—including double-slit interference and wavefunction collapse—as emergent consequences of the electron’s spacetime topology. This model eliminates the need for extra dimensions or abstract wavefunctions, offering a monistic explanation for quantum mechanics, antimatter rarity, and the arrow of time.

Abstract

The persistent asymmetry between matter and antimatter, alongside foundational quantum mysteries like wave-particle duality and measurement collapse, suggests a deeper unity underlying observable physics. We revisit John Wheeler’s speculative "one-electron universe" hypothesis, proposing a geometric reinterpretation where all electrons and positrons are manifestations of a single, Planck-scale braided worldline in spacetime. By treating antiparticles as time-reversed segments of this worldline and the vacuum as a self-annihilating network of unobserved interactions, we derive quantum phenomena—including double-slit interference and wavefunction collapse—as emergent consequences of the electron’s spacetime topology. This model eliminates the need for extra dimensions or abstract wavefunctions, offering a monistic explanation for quantum mechanics, antimatter rarity, and the arrow of time.
