The author presents a review and reformulation of the author`s recent nonlocal-nonhamiltonian generalization of the standard BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer) theory of electron pairing in superconductors, here called iso-superconductivity or iso-standard model for short, by drawing two analogies. The first analogy is a geometrical (relativistic) one between the internal (isominkowskian) structures of the neutral pion and the Cooper pair envisaged in the generalization; and the second analogy is a dynamical (fluid mechanics) one between the classical Hamilton-Santilli limit of the generalization and its apparent local/nonlocal two-dimensional (London) superfluid mechanics realizations for flows in the CuO{sub 2} planes of the high-T{sub c} cuprate superconductors. By using the analogies and physical considerations, the author elucidates the origins of the interactions responsible for the fluctuations in the iso-characteristics of the electron within the pair due to the mutual overlapping of the paired electron wavefunctions. The fluctuations are defined in terms of a single quantity, namely an integral operator or {open_quotes}iso unit{close_quotes}. 33 refs., 5 figs., 4 tabs.
