Particle generations in R0|18 dust gravity Robert N. C. Pfeifer∗ Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand (Dated: July 12, 2020) The R0|18 dust gravity model contains analogues to the particle spectrum and interactions of the Standard Model and gravity, but with only four tunable parameters. As the structure of this model is highly constrained, predictive relationships between its counterparts to the constants of the Standard Model may be obtained. In this paper, the model values for the masses of the tau, the W and Z bosons, and a Higgs-like scalar boson are calculated as functions of α, me, and mµ, with no free fitting parameters. They are shown to be 1776.867(1) MeV/c2, 80.3786(3) GeV/c2, 91.1877(4) GeV/c2, and 125.16(1) GeV/c2 respectively, all within 0.5 σ or better of the corresponding observed values of 1776.86(12) MeV/c2, 80.379(12) GeV/c2, 91.1876(21) GeV/c2, and 125.10(14) GeV/c2. This result suggests the existence of a unifying relationship between lepton generations and the electroweak mass scale, which is proposed to arise from preon interactions mediated by the strong nuclear force. 4 CONTENTS 4.

These loops, in turn, may then either (ii-iii) act on a single preon triplet, or (iv) span from that triplet to another part of the diagram. However, once such a loop is introduced, the preons which are evaluated us- ing the QL mean field values no longer all arise from the same vertex. For these preons to remain correlated with their counterparts on the lower vertex, such that the 2 diagram’s contribution to mW does not vanish, the QL sources and sinks must continue to be within O( QL) of one another, and the loop correction must not introduceL any correlations with particles outside the local region (both spatial and temporal) within which the QL is self- correlated.
