Electron raceway — cross-section view Head-on cross-section of the electron's orbital raceway. The electron moves toward the viewer, surrounded by concentric wavy rings of co-rotating substrate flow, with counter-rotating edge eddies in the gaps between layers. A force vector points downward toward the off-screen proton nucleus below. p+ Toward nucleus Electron (v toward you) Orbital velocity along raceway Vibrates at Compton freq. Co-rotating raceway Entrained substrate flows with electron (into the page) Inner edge eddies Counter-rotating at inner shear Source of quantum potential Q Outer edge eddies Counter-rotating at outer wall Confines raceway width Pilot wave field Extends to coherence length ~110 um Wavy structure from Compton ripples Pressure imbalance More substrate above than below Net force holds electron in orbit Co-rotating flow (into page) Counter-rotating edge eddies
