VEQF Derivation of Elementary Charge from Vacuum Topology and Precession Dynamics

We present a first-principles derivation of the elementary charge e within the Vacuum Energy Quanta Field (VEQF) framework. Electric charge emerges not as a fundamental property of point particles, but as the topological signature of persistent precession in toroidal solitons (hopfions). The electron is modeled as a TCI=1 soliton exhibiting a 4π geometric phase accumulated through the mismatch between poloidal (ω_rope) and toroidal (ω_global) spin modes, creating a conical wake in the continuous vacuum medium. The charge magnitude derives from the vacuum stiffness K, fundamentally linked to Planck's constant h and the speed of light c through the relation K = 512 * h/c^2, where the factor 512 arises from the topological degeneracy 2^(N_d^2) of the down quark (TCI=3) that calibrates the hadronic mass scale. Critically, this calibration factor does not suppress the electron charge - the electron (TCI=1) has its own geometric coupling factor determined by its torus aspect ratio. We demonstrate that: e_G = sqrt(K c^3) * ξ_TCI=1 where ξ_TCI=1 ≈ 1.5061e-3 is the electron-specific wake coupling factor derived from the conical wake solid angle. This yields e ≈ 4.803e-10 statcoulomb (or 1.602e-19 C) without empirical fitting, establishing charge as a geometric consequence of vacuum elasticity and soliton topology, unifying the electromagnetic and mass-generation sectors of VEQF theory.
