Ontological Deconstruction of the Fine Structure Constant

The fine structure constant α is regarded in standard physics as a fundamental dimensionless constant characterizing the strength of electromagnetic interaction. This paper, within the framework of World Quantum Theory (WQT), proposes an ontological deconstruction of α. Starting from the ontological definition of permittivity established in the companion paper [5], we derive an explicit expression for α in terms of the particle's kinematic variables: α = x · d² / (8π · v · c) where x is the projective coupling factor, d is the radial velocity component, v is the tangential velocity component, and c is the speed of light in the projection layer. In the terrestrial electron environment (x = 2π): α = d² / (4 · v · c) This expression depends on the particle's kinematic state. The numerical value of d and v for the electron is not fixed in this framework. What this paper establishes is not a numerical value of α, but a structural result: Standard physics measures the inverse of the kinematic ratio. The standard formula α = e²/(4π·ε₀·ℏ·c) has no direct access to the particle's kinematic state. Through the calibration of ε₀, it produces a quantity proportional to v/d, whereas the WQT-derived α is proportional to d²/(v·c). The two are related by an inversion of the kinematic ratio. We propose direct experimental tests of the electron's kinematic ratio d/v to confirm or falsify this structural claim.
