Q1 - Are there particles in the Wave Structure of Matter model?

There are no particles in the sense of a discrete something at their center analogous to a grain of sand nor is there any point particle concept. However, there are electrons, protons and neutrons. These are made up of concentric spherical waves. A spherical in-wave moves inward toward the center, undergoes spherical rotation and then moves outward from the center as a spherical out-wave. Combined, their amplitudes add up to a spherical standing wave. It is impossible to say where the electron starts and ends since it is made up of only these waves and these waves potentially propagate endlessly. Also, a portion of the out-wave of one electron is a portion of the in-wave of another electron, so even the boundary between electrons is hard to define.

The terms wave-center and spherical resonance are more suited to the WSM model than particle as wave-center refers to the location where the in-wave undergoes spherical rotation to become the out-wave. It is also this wave-center that moves, that gives the appearance of mass in the influence of gravity, has momentum, ... The term particle can be used to mean this wave-center as long as it is understood that there are no discrete particles.

Q2 - How does an in-wave come in from all directions? What is an in-wave?

As the animation on the right illustrates, an in-wave is really a collection of separate spherical waves coming from many different particles. At one common edge, all these in-waves form a single wavefront that is the in-wave. In the animation it's where all the waves meet to form a dark, collapsing ring. This is called Huygens principle (or more precisely, the Huygens-Fresnel principle.) The red, blue and green waves in the animation are so colored to help show that the animation is made up of many separate circular waves.

So only a small portion of the out-wave of one particle arrives at a second particle as part of that second particle's in-wave. That small part will then be rotated 720 degrees, and returned to the original particle as part of a new, expanding out-wave.

Q3 - What do the lines in spherical rotation illustrations represent?

The lines represent the path that the in-waves and out-waves take as they arrive and leave the wave center (particle.) But at the same they also represent the shape of space.

Space energy density at any location is proportional to the sum of the intensity of all the waves at that location. The intensity of a wave is the wave's amplitude squared. Gradients in space energy density are followed by waves as the waves move through space - and partcles are made of waves. So particles move according to space energy density gradients (e.g. cause of gravity.) In effect the energy density gradients define the shape of space since it's these gradients that particles follow.

So back to the question... The moving, twisting waves within the particle center are shaping the space energy density/shape of space. Saying that the lines represent the path of the waves is also saying that the shape of space is twisting and untwisting.

Q4 - What is gravity?

Gravity is a movement of particles from lower density space to higher density space. The density of a location in space is proportional to the sum of the intensity of all the waves at that location and represents the energy at that location. The intensity of a wave is the wave's amplitude squared. The waves at that location originate from all particles within that location's Hubble sphere (a sphere whose radius is the Hubble length.)

Areas where there is higher density are areas containing more particles. This is because the amplitude of a wave around a particle is higher the nearer the particle and lower the farther away you go from the particle. So if you have many particles near each other then the amplitudes making up the density in that area are all high amplitudes. This is in keeping with the observation that the more mass you have the higher the gravity resulting from that mass.

But why would this cause a particle to move toward an area of higher density? The key, as the following diagram illustrates, is that a wave moving through an area of uniform density space will continue on its way unaffected. However, if any portion of that wave were to encounter an area of space with higher density then that portion of the wave would move more slowly than the rest.

Particles are really just areas of space where in-waves are arriving, undergoing spherical rotation and then leaving again as out-waves. If a portion of an in-wave is moving slower than the rest because it is in a higher density space, then already the particle has moved toward the higher density area since the in-wave is a portion of the particle.
