| | For a century the electron–muon–tau mass hierarchy has been a loose puzzle. Beyond Barut’s old heuristic relation (nice but not first-principles), there hasn’t been a clean derivation. Today I’m sharing a preprint that derives the charged–lepton mass hierarchy from first principles with ppm-level accuracy and a rigorous math backbone--no fitted parameters: manuscript (Charged–Lepton Mass Hierarchy): https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17108965 this comes out of the same geometric framework that produced an emergent alpha and a compact g-factor + running (without QED) relation: TL;DR: A closed, geometric lock fixes alpha, and the same structure yields a short analytic route to the lepton mass ratios at ppm accuracy--without tuning. I know skepticism is healthy; that’s why everything is public. If you want specific tests (scripts, error budgets, independent checks), tell me what would convince you and I’ll prioritize it. Constructive critique welcome. [link] [comments] |
