Description

The previously noted difficulty of obtaining Dirac magnetic moments in composite models is combined with the observation that a 'light' bound fermion state with a small size must have the Dirac moment a renormalizable theory since its anomalous moment is determined by its excitation spectrum. New constraints on composite models are given, including the decoupling of low-lying excitations and the 'superconfinement' condition that creation of virtual electron-positron pairs by the superstrong gluons responsible for binding the constituents of the elctron must be strictly forbidden in photon-electron scattering.
