Abstract

We extend Dirac's "extensible model of the electron" to include spin and family. U (1)e.m. charge conservation on the bubble is translated into a secondary U (1)g world-manifold gauge principle. Reflecting the secondary magnetic monopole configuration on spatial S2, the harmonic excitations may furnish half-integer SU(2) spin*U (1)g representations. Our spin- 1 2 "electron" is described by four world-manifold scalar fields. Its three varieties are associate with different local minima of the (6th-order) surface-tension scalar potential.
