contents <p>The electron's spin-1/2 --- its requirement of a $720^\circ$ rotation to return to its original state --- has been one of the most counterintuitive features of quantum mechanics since the Stern-Gerlach experiment. Every major framework of modern physics, from the Dirac equation to string theory, has described or reformulated this behaviour with remarkable precision. None has explained what the electron <strong>is</strong> such that this behaviour is a natural consequence of its nature.</p> <p>This paper proposes such an explanation. The electron is a <strong>double vortex</strong>: two coupled coherence vortices turning in opposite directions, whose meeting point<br>is the topological anchor of the electric charge. This image answers three questions: the first and longest-standing, why $720^\circ$ and not $360^\circ$; the second and third arose in previous works by the author: why charge is point-like while mass-energy is extended, and why the double saturation condition is an ontological necessity --- the only way a dual structure can exist stably. An ontological connection is noted between the double vortex and the Dirac $g=2$.</p> <p>A preliminary scaling law $m \propto \xi^4$ is shown to be consistent with the observed mass ratios of the charged leptons, yielding a testable prediction for any future<br>fourth lepton. The paper closes with a comparative table showing that the double vortex introduces zero new postulates.</p>
