| contents | <p class="MsoNormal">Standard physics describes proton mass as 99% binding energy and 1% Higgs-derived quark mass, while the electron’s mass is entirely from the Higgs mechanism. These are treated as unrelated facts requiring separate explanations. The FIGID framework (Field Intrinsic Gravity Induced Density) provides a unified interpretation: all mass is field condensation above the baseline density ρ₀, regardless of source. This paper extends that interpretation by examining the electromagnetic field disturbance created by charged particles. The electromagnetic depression parameter δ_EM(r) = kₑe²/(mc²r) — the natural electromagnetic analog of the gravitational depression δ = GM/(c²r) — yields a conservation law when integrated over a shared volume: total EM disturbance × gradient steepness = 2πR², a mass-independent constant depending only on the volume of the region. For any two charged particles sharing the same spatial domain, the lighter particle disturbs more total field while the heavier particle concentrates its disturbance into a steeper gradient. What we call “mass” is not how much field a particle has gathered. It is how tightly that field is concentrated. The electron and proton are not different amounts of field. They are different distributions of the same field budget.</p> |
