...are posted for the benefit of those image-searching for animated photons and electrons. They are based on my understanding of ideas from Vernon Brown, Milo Wolff, Richard Feynman, Carver Mead, Gabriel LaFrenière, Geoffrey Haselhurst, Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrödinger et al and et c., aka "photon theory" and "the wave structure of matter."
Made with Microsoft Paint and Lunapic, satisfactory standing waves, Hopf toruses and vortexes have eluded me, but some of these results are simple and easy to remember, the key to heuristics.
Warnings and Disclaimers: Nothing here is "right" and almost everything can be described several different ways. Use extreme caution if answering homework questions or designing photon torpedoes. Sometimes two-dimensions looks like a sphere, sometimes maybe a convex inside-out mirrored Mercator sphere, popping right out of your screen. For entertainment purposes only.

A lot of hand-coloring went into this iteration. It's a little bit better, but still too "flat" to easily grasp. I started moving away from loxodromes, trying for an easier dimensionality, however fake. So, I moved on to this: Animated Photon Electron Yin Yang & Related. These slides could probably be hand-colored further into something interesting, it just is not obvious to me how, without painstaking frame-by-frame examination. Nonetheless, it does help with imagining the spherical standing waves.
