What is the difference between the unit sphere and the electron?

Speaking strictly within the atom.  If Higgs 'gave' mass, and the Higgs 'gield' is everywhere, and the electron is simply managine a number line based on this field, then what makes the electron have matter as opposed to a unit sphere?

In other words, given the electron manages the fractional and whole counts radially across the sphere, what is the difference between the value 1.0 and the value 3/4?  The counting system is shifted, and certainly the multiplicative identiy is important. But there is nothing wrong with making 3/4 the multiplicative identity for a while, and letting the previous multiplicative identity be 3/4. In other words, the rules can be shifted with a turn of the screw. the unit sphere is what we can the atom, but it is nothing more than a slight repacking of the Null within the sphere.
