   Then wouldn't it be "one-photon"? I've heard (but don't fully understand) that massed particles are simply photons trapped in toroidal vortices, which gives them an outward charge field and lets them interact with the Higgs. Annihilation supposedly just being untangling the toroid.

      Pretty sure that electrons are a fundamental particle coming from the electron field. They are pointlike objects with no other components.

         If mass is proportionally equivalent to energy, then this can't be true. The photon is the fundamental energy unit. Right?

            Photons are the force carrier for the EM field, they are not electrons themselves.

            Edit: look up a chart for the standard model of particle physics.
