Ideally, because they are being pushed. The boundary is going to have some unique properties because we go from something to nothing. Effectively, why do two quarks not merge? If I can show the boundary to be the schwarzschild radius under all circumstances, then we have a boundary that cannot be crossed for all waves. Right now, I am working at the large black hole level as the observations we have and the math we already have make it much easier to play with. Effectively, if I can work it out, there should be no issue reducing it to the quark level. If it does not reduce sensibly, then it is wrong. Somewhere in all this mess, inertia has to come into play also. I am still having a lot of trouble with that under any theory or hypothesis. I cannot ignore it though, it is there.
As to spin and the like, I expect that to be a result of the interaction with waves of different realities with a plank-like property that only 'allows' for specific angles that would determine the observed properties.
For those that are just lurking, a QM particle is not like a tiny grain of sand that you can pick up and look at and examine. It is only a product of observation. (more complex than that, but let us keep something simple.) Waves on the other hand, might be similar to sound waves with space acting as the medium of fluctuation.

The hypothetical schwarzschild radius for a 3 MeV quark is 21 orders of magnitude smaller than the planck length... Nothing that would ever play a role in observable physics. But also not the realm where one usually expects GR to be valid. To put it mildly.
Still, I'm interested if you present the very basic maths for the proposed cavity thing with no bells and whistles. Before that, talking about intersecting realities and whatnot will make you sound like a crackpot.

Does anyone else know more on this subject? Is there even anyone studying this stuff?
Gravity is largely an illusion. If Einstein's model of gravity is correct then why don't electrons eventually get drawn into the nucleus of an atom? After all apparently the protons in the neucli attract them... In any case it doesn't exist as a force it's a property of our universe.

Because localizing the electrons in a smaller and smaller space near the nucleus automatically lets them have a larger momentum due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which then lets them escape.

Gravity is an illusion? It's not a force?
I don't understand why you say these things. They seem demonstrably (and pretty obviously) false. Can you elaborate a little?

So are you saying that electrons' orbits are irregular not only in their location in a single sphere, but also in their distance from the nucleus?

But strictly speaking there are no such things as electron orbits, there are only wave functions giving you probability of location and momentum. The picture of a pointlike electron orbiting the nucleus is false
Could you then explain in relative layman's terms what "localizing the electrons in a smaller and smaller space near the nucleus automatically lets them have a larger momentum due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which then lets them escape" means? If the electron as a point particle is a metaphor, then it seems that statement relies heavily on that metaphor.
