[QUOTE="ohwilleke, post: 6051957, member: 19562"] Nice summary. I think that you can get to this if the factor that is driving the relative values in the mass matrix are the W boson transitions between them which give rise to the quark masses dynamically. Thus, the up quark masses are basically a weighted average of the down quark masses with weights proportional to which down quarks are most likely to transition to which up quarks. For example, if you try to do a Koide triple relationship of the up quark, the down quark and the strange quark, you get a prediction that the up quark mass is virtually zero. But, if you adjust that prediction for the fact that a very heavy bottom quark has a small probability of transitioning to an up quark via a W boson interaction, then you get an adjustment that brings it all right on the money. In this regard the new paper points out this connection to W boson interactions: It then goes on to make a phenomenological prediction in a non-static case: Moreover, if you can get the relative masses of the fundamental fermions, you can also get the absolute mass scale of the collection of them from the very suggestive phenomenological relationship that the sum of the square of the masses of the fundamental particles of the Standard Model equals the square of the Higgs vev. So, with the masses of the W, Z, Higgs and the value of the Higgs vev, the assumption that the neutrino masses are nearly zero, and the electron and muon masses, you can derive using this paper, Koide's charged lepton rule, and the square of the Higgs vev relationship, all six of the quark masses and the tau lepton mass, stripping out seven Standard Model parameters and equally important, shedding some light on why they take the values that they do. A similar conjecture was presented by one of the same authors in 1996, but the quality of the input data is much better now, and the formula was refined, and with it has come a better fit. In that article the authors explained that: [/QUOTE]
