The Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation for the action function plays a fundament
al role in classical mechanics. A known consequence of the HJ equation is a
blow-up of a disturbed free-particle solution. Following the idea of Sivas
hinsky, we formulate an extension of the Hj equation in which perturbations
eventually evolve into a finite autosoliton associated with an elementary
particle. A novel element of the model is stability of the autosoliton. We
link uncertainties in the position and momentum of a particle to a width an
d amplitude of the autosoliton. We formulate restrictions of the coefficien
ts of the model and compare the model with some existing theories of extend
ed elementary objects.
