What Tells Gravity on Emergence of Quantum Theory?

Contradictions between Quantum theory and Gravity are well known. It is usually assumed that gravity is not essential on the quantum level and the quantum background of the Dirac and QED theory is flat. Meanwhile, the observable parameters of an electron determines its background gravitational field and indicate that it is very far from the usual Minkowski spacetime and should be described by the Kerr-Newman (KN) solution, which for parameters of the electron, has a non- trivial twosheeted topology generated by the Kerr singular ring [1]. The KN gravitational field is concentrated near the Kerr ring, forming a closed gravitational string - a circular waveguide for traveling pp-waves [2]. We discuss relation of this structure with the Dirac equation [3] and with the low energy string theory [4] and arrive at the conclusion that gravity plays fundamental role in the 'emergence' of quantum theory. There appear also close relations with 4d supergravity solitons [5].
We suppose that this predicted by the KN Gravity closed string in the electron structure could be experimentally recognized by the novel methods of the "nonforward Compton scattering".
