Is an Anyon an electron confined to a plane?

My model for the electron explains why Anyons have charge e/3:

The left out events encoding -2x2/3 electric charge rotates out of the plane the electron is confined in as the electron spins. These then spend more time outside the plane and do not register. The event encoding +1/3 charge is on the diagonal where about the electron spins. It, therefore, spends 100% of the time inside the plane, and then the charge registers as e/3.

The polarity is wrong. Having 1/3 charge would of course give -e/3 charge. This assumes e = -1.602*10^(-19) C.

The Anyons are detected in a current in which weak backscattering is present, so maybe Anyons are positrons confined to two dimensions. In this case, the polarity agrees.

A current of such Anyons would flow in the same direction as an electronic current.

Please change the title to a question, as per the site rules.

Failure to do so will result in thread deletion - moderator.

I had it wrong: it is 2*-1/3 not on the line and -1/3 on the line, in which case an electron gives the right polarity.

Ayons prove that electrons aren't point particles. If they were there would be no difference if confined to a plane.
