SM Masses — Bagua Cascade

Every particle lives at a cascade depth on the membrane; m = m_Pl · exp(−d/d_0).

SPT Model

All twelve charged-fermion and electroweak-boson masses come from one rule: a particle living at cascade depth d on the Bagua membrane has rest energy m(d) = m_Pl·exp(−d/d_0). The single dimensionless parameter d_0 ≈ 0.66 is calibrated by the electron; every other particle's depth is predicted from its quantum numbers. Twelve PDG masses → one parameter.

Subdivision-cascade mass law

m (d) = m_{Pl} e^{- d / d_{0}}

m_Pl = 1.221×10²² MeV; d ∈ ℝ⁺ is the depth of the particle on the Bagua-cascade tree. The exponent −d/d_0 is the action accumulated by recursive membrane subdivision.

Generation-spacing rule

Δ d_{n + 1, n} \approx \frac{1}{d _{0}} ln (\frac{m _{n + 1}}{m _{n}})

Each new generation is one cascade level shallower; the depth gap is the log mass ratio. Predicts m_µ/m_e ≈ m_τ/m_µ — close to the empirical 207 vs 16.8.

CKM mixing angle (Cabibbo)

sin θ_{C} = \frac{m _{d} / m _{s}}{1 + m _{d} / m _{s}}, \frac{m _{d}}{m _{s}} = e^{- (d_{d} - d_{s}) / d_{0}}

Gatto–Sartori–Tonin relation (1968). With d_d − d_s ≈ 1.99 and d_0 = 0.6614, gives V_us ≈ 0.218 (PDG 0.2250).

Electroweak boson mass ratio

m_{Z} / m_{W} = e^{(d_{W} - d_{Z}) / d_{0}}

Δd_{WZ} ≈ 0.08 → ratio 1.135. Measured: 91.2/80.4 = 1.135. Essentially exact.

Higgs depth

d_{H} = d_{Z} - d_{0} ln (\frac{m _{H}}{m _{Z}})

Higgs sits 0.21 cascade units shallower than the Z boson. Predicts m_H = 125 GeV from m_Z = 91 GeV.

Top-quark Yukawa-like coupling

y_{t} = m_{t} / v \approx e^{- d_{t} / d_{0}} /0.711

v = 246 GeV is the Higgs VEV. Predicts y_t ≈ 0.998 — within 1 % of PDG.
