In a previous work, the meaning of the Planck constant $h = \left( e^2 / 2\alpha \right) \sqrt{\mu_0 / \epsilon_0}$, accomplished by solving Maxwell'selectrodynamics laws with specific electric $1 / \tau_C = 1 / R_q C_q$ andmagnetic $1/ \tau_L = R_q / L_q$ quantum rates for the ground-state dynamics,was reinterpreted. $R_q$, $C_q$ and $L_q$ are the resistance, capacitance andinductance quantum of the ground-state dynamics, respectively. Based on thisquantum electromagnetic rate approach, here it is demonstrated that theintrinsic massless character that complies with Dirac quantum electrodynamicsof the electron in its ground-state energy level is a consequence of a quantumelectromagnetic phase coherence between $\tau_C$ and $\tau_L$ time constants ofthe oscillatory motion. The quantum mechanical uncertainties associated with$h$ are interpreted to be a consequence of perturbing the inherentelectromagnetic phase coherence of the ground state with the loss of half of abyte of electromagnetic information per ``experimental'' perturbation, with thefine-structure constant $\alpha = \sqrt{\pi / 2 \left( \tau_L / \tau_C \right)}\sim 1/137$ playing a prominent role in the phenomenon.
