ANTIMATTER is a material composed of the antiparticle "partners" to the corresponding particles of ordinary matter. A particle and its antiparticle have the same mass as one another, but opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers. (Wikipedia - 06 Jan 2017)

The POSITRON or ANTIELECTRON is the antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron. The positron has an electric charge of +1 e, a spin of 1/2, and has the same mass as an electron. (Wikipedia - 06 Jan 2017)

ELECTRIC CHARGE is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. There are two types of electric charges: positive and negative. Like charges repel and unlike attract.  (Wikipedia - 07 Jan 2017)

The Malta Template and Current Paradigm agree that the antielectron and the electron are essentially the same bar each having a different charge. Beyond that, there is not so much disagreement as an absence of agreement. In the Template, the electron/antielectron is a complex object with a well defined structure that dictates its behaviour. In the Paradigm, the behaviour of the electron/antielectron is well charted but the reasons for that behaviour are largely unknown - it is currently unknown whether it even has a structure.

The Template and the Paradigm use the same empirically proven factbase. The difference between them stems from the one description being evolutionary and the other being devolutionary and thus each coming at the same problem from opposing directions. Here is a simplified description of the Template antielectron.

• The Universe consists of a region of space within which there are many objects.
• The objects are either gravitons or are composite objects made of gravitons. 
• All blackholes are graviton composites.
• Some objects are blackhole composites.
• All blackholes have a solidbonded gravitoncore.
• Blackholes of sufficient mass have a liquidbonded gravitonocean.
• Blackholes of sufficient mass have a gasbonded gravitonosphere. 
• All gravitonospheres, bar that of the Universe itself, are within the gravitonosphere of a larger object. 
• Thus any part of the Universe that is not a solidbonded gravitoncore, or a liquidbonded gravitonocean, is a gasbonded gravitonosphere. 

• An electron is a pair of blackholes.
• The blackhole's are the electron's quarks.
• One quark is axially structured and the other is centrifugally structured.
• The quarks are bonded together by the strong force. 
• The strong force is a balance between the mutual gravitypull of the quark gravitoncores and the mutual rejectivity of the quark gravitonospheres. 
• This balance is struck when each quark has a specific mass. 
• The creation of electrons is part of the stabilisation process of nucleons (see Chapter 08). 
• Every electron is surrounded by a gravitonstream called the electrosphere.
• The electrosphere flows over the gravitonospheres of the quarks. 
• The electrosphere has an overall vector which is to flow from the electron northpole to the electron southpole. 
• The north/south overall vector of the electrosphere makes the electron an axially structured object. 
• An axially structured object is a charged object.
• Thus the electron is a charged particle.

Every part of the Universe that is not a gravitoncore or a gravitonocean is a gravitonosphere. Every blackhole and blackhole composite is within the gravitonosphere of a larger object. Every gravitonosphere is conditioned by gravity, rejectivity, and spinspeed and thus forms into gravitonstreams. Every gravitonstream, like any other form of stream, has two forms of vector - the overall vector (the Nile flows northward) and the local vector (at Thebes the Nile flows northeastward).

Every electron is a blackhole composite and is within the gravitonstream of a larger object. Every electron, given enough time, will automatically align itself with the local vector of the gravitonstream it is within. Alignment for an electron is with its northpole facing the oncoming gravitonstream. An electron will align itself no matter in what direction the electron is moving relative to the vector of the gravitonstream because:  

• SHAPE:   An electron has a squat cone shape. The northpole (the axial quark end) is the narrower end. The southpole (the centrifugal quark end) is the wider end. In air, water, and gravitonstreams, a contrarily moving cone cannot help help but point its narrower end toward the oncoming stream if it isn't prevented from doing so. 

• STRUCTURE:   The electrosphere of an electron flows from the northpole to the southpole. The electron is least stressed if the vectors of its electrosphere and the local gravitonstream are both the same - which is so if the northpole faces the oncoming stream. A moving aircraft cannot help but slow down if the engines are put into reverse thrust.   

An antielectron is an electron that is unaligned to local vector of the gravitonstream it is within. It may have entered this gravitonstream from another with a different vector. Or it may have collided with another object. Apart from their contrary gravitonstream alignment, antielectrons are indistinguishable from electrons. Thus telling one from the other can be difficult if there are no positively identified electrons nearby for comparison or if the local vector of the gravitonstream (the electromagnetic field) is unknown.

Antielectrons do not endure because their orientation, relative to the local gravitonstream, is stressful. All objects, if allowed to do so, will adopt their least stressful alignment - which, for an antielectron, is to become an electron. Antielectrons are common enough but they are small and realignment happens quickly so their presence is mostly barely noticed. 

A conundrum for cosmologists is the baryon asymmetry problem. The Current Paradigm suggests that, in the aftermath of the Big Bang, electrons and antielectrons should have been produced in equal amounts but all observations show a predominantly electron Universe. Neither the standard model of particle physics, nor the general theory of relativity, have any obvious explanation for this but the Malta Template does. In the aftermath of Moment Zero, any antielectrons produced could not help but quickly realign themselves with the vector of their local gravitonstream.    

The Malta Template and the Current Paradigm are in complete agreement as to what an antielectron does. As to what an antielectron actually is, and how it does what it does, the Malta Template has a reasonably comprehensive description while Current Paradigm has not. The reason for the difference lies in their methodology.

The Current Paradigm methodology is essentially devolutionary in that it looks backward in time and downward in size. It sees as far as it possibly can with the instruments available, beyond which there is little choice but to indulge in (highly) educated guesswork. Without any doubt at all, this approach will eventually achieve the desired results but proofing in the Current Paradigm is by observation and/or experiment and attempting to peer inside objects as insubstantial as electrons and antielectrons is always going to be difficult.

The Malta Template methodology is rigorously evolutionary. It begins with the least substantial object that can be justified by the current factbase, the graviton, and builds from that foundation into a Universe that is exactly like the one we inhabit. This last provides the Template with an internal selfproofing mechanism in that if it doesn't match the real Universe exactly, it is wrong and must be rethought or discarded. As regards antielectrons in the Template, they evolve naturally and without forcing from less substantial objects and behave exactly as do real antielectrons.
