Welcome to the sixth edition of the Zitter Institute’s monthly newsletter. The Zitter Institute is an international working group, dedicated to promoting and advancing Zitter models of the electron’s dynamics. Our mission is to make the Zitter Institute the primary reference point for the Zitter Electron Model, also known as the "Ring Electron Model" or "Toroidal Electron Model." We are proud that the majority of researchers worldwide who remain active and have published papers on this electron model are members of the Zitter Institute. Below we present the most relevant paper on the Zitter model of the electron from each member of the institute. - The Zitterhewegung Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (1990), David Hestenes
