The electron’s self photon

Equations of motion (EOM’s) are presented for the electron and photon. The electron EOM is the same as Dirac’s equation with mass interpreted to be totally electromagnetic in nature. The photon EOM is considered here to be the EOM for the electron’s self photon. The electron EOM and photon EOM together are presented as a single theory of the electron which is distinct from QED, in which separate matter and light theories are used for the electron and photon respectively.A temporarily bound state is found for the point proton-electron-self-photon three-body combination which possibly represents a neutronic state. In support of this surmise the theory is used to calculate the neutronic state-proton mass difference, the lifetime of the neutronic state against electron emission, and the neutronic state’s magnetic moment. This interpretation of the neutronic state suggests that the self photon and the neutrino share the same EOM and are possibly the same particle.
