I think I finally figured out what you're getting at, and it's something I came up with independently a few decades ago when I was thinking about atoms.
Here it is: Electron clouds carry a negative charge but we still define orbitals, which I interpreted to be merely representative of quantum threshold levels, ie. pump in just enough energy to get a response or take away just enough energy to get a response. So I thought that according to the principle that energy can be neither created or destroyed that there is a constant collapse of negative potential into the positively charged nucleus, as with like and unlike charges attracting, and that this negative potential is immediately replaced by the intelligence within the atom in order to maintain the atom's overall integrity. According to my thinking at the time this is an ongoing process. This suggests that there is a stability to the nucleus that does not allow altering its composition this way other than to apply energy far exceeding this natural process. You see, take away one level of electron potential, as in the sodium atom, and we are still left with the integral atom but with a net positive charge.
Am I right, zeroca?
(this might belong in another forum, I just saw the diagram and I made an assumption. Anyway I'm too lazy to do anything about it now)
