Hi Alan and everyone,
I pretty much concur with your idea of the rotating field. I have referred to it as a rotating wave of the electron (or positron or more generally the fermion). The electromagnetic wave is rotated about its axis of spin in the case of a 'stationary' rotating wave. One way for the electron rotating wave to move in forward motion is along its axis of spin. This is illustrated in my attachment which is an update to website I uploaded some time ago. Basically, I resolved a simple and corrected Riemannian curvature derivation from the rotating wave form which the attached includes.
The big thing I realized is that when put in forward (translational) motion, the rotating wave has to incline at an angle to obey laws of electromagnetic theory. That inclined wave is allowed to go forward in motion and trace out a helical path, rather than just a circular path of 'stationary' electron. The inclined angle of the rotating wave thus causes length contraction and the helical path is stretched out and it takes a longer time to complete a cycle, thus causing the slowing or dilation of time. To me that is the Cylindrical Condition and covers the Special Theory of Relativity.
As to the General Theory of Relativity, I think it is the rotating waves of matter that impart some of the binding energy of rotation to incidental waves of matter and light, thus causing the apparent bending of space. This impart of energy results in a general expansion and slowing down of time which I refer to as the Spiral Condition. A rotating wave must have a spiral form as well as helical, in order to manifest intrinsic curvature. The rotating wave thus predicts the expansion of the universe and slowing down of time right from the get go.
I was told by a mentor that we have to get outside the box and get uncomfortable. If I am comfortable, then I am just regurgitating. Well documented facts are of course worth keeping, but seen in a different light might enable us to progress further. Coincidentally, I was reading the Evolution of Physics by Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld and particularly the Michelson Morley 1887 experiment. I simply stepped outside the experiment and wondered if the null result of fringe shift was due to the fact that everyone, the room, the apparatus, and of course earth were all being transmitted through space just like light was, because after all, matter is energy. That inspired me to come up with a model of matter and the rotating wave fit and began to explain relativity, mass, charge, and gravity. It indeed met with opposition and the only way I could publish it was on the internet.
That to me also explained wave mechanics and relativity together. Even if it is just mimickry, perhaps consideration of rotating waves (or fields) might enable us to see further. It might also enable us to conceptualize and create models of an Rotating EM Wave and thus fabricate an electromagnetic propeller that would push on 'space-time' and as a massless rocket not eject pollution into our future of space. Truly, the consideration of this new paradigm of rotating fields or waves is important to the foundation of physics.
