A Three-Slope Topological-Geometric Law of Flavor: Exact Closure from Two Scalar Invariants
A compact, falsifiable law for fermion flavor overlaps with three universal slopes uniquely determined by minimal data
We present a compact, falsifiable law for fermion flavor overlaps$$\ln |\rho_{ij}| = (u_i+u_j) - \boldsymbol{\Delta}_{ij}\cdot\boldsymbol{\gamma}$$where the integers $\boldsymbol{\Delta}_{ij}=(\Delta N,\Delta w,\Delta T)$ encode topology/geometry of seed tuples and $\boldsymbol{\gamma}=(\gamma_N,\gamma_w,\gamma_T)$ are three universal slopes. Midpoint gauge invariants eliminate the gauge fields $u_i$, leaving a small set of sector-independent scalar constraints. Using only: (i) a single down-sector triplet of magnitudes, (ii) one up-sector midpoint invariant $x=r_{13}^{\prime(u)}$, and (iii) one auxiliary sector midpoint invariant $K^{(X)}$ associated to $\mathcal{D}_X=\boldsymbol{\Delta}_{13}-\frac{1}{2}(\boldsymbol{\Delta}_{12}+\boldsymbol{\Delta}_{23})$, the slopes are uniquely fixed by closed-form algebra.
For the measured/assumed inputs$$S=1.620331,\quad x=0.070,\quad K^{(X)}=-2.50,\quad \mathcal{D}_X=(4,1,2)$$we obtain$$\boldsymbol{\gamma}=(\gamma_N,\gamma_w,\gamma_T)=(0.211071,\,0.740662,\,0.457527)$$which pass all sum-rule and positivity checks and reproduce the full table of geometry factors $r'_{ij}$ across sectors.

A THREE-SLOPE TOPOLOGICAL-GEOMETRIC LAW OF FLAVOR: EXACT CLOSURE FROM TWO SCALAR INVARIANTS 1. INTRODUCTION The observed hierarchies and mixings of fermions suggest hidden structure behind flavor. Here we propose a simple nonpolynomial overlap law ln|ρ_ij| = (u_i + u_j) - Δ_ij · γ, Δ_ij = (ΔN, Δw, ΔT) where Δ_ij are sector-specific integer differences derived from three-tuple "addresses" and γ = (γ_N, γ_w, γ_T) are three universal nonnegative slopes. The unphysical gauge fields u_i can be removed by midpoint gauge invariants built from three pairs (12), (23), (13). This yields a tiny, closed system that is reproducible by hand and fixed by just two measured scalars beyond the down sector. 2. MIDPOINT GAUGE, INVARIANTS, AND TRIANGLE IDENTITIES Let three seeds in a sector be labeled by integer tuples yielding pairwise differences Δ_12, Δ_23, Δ_13. Define the midpoint gauge invariant K := ln|ρ_13| - (1/2)(ln|ρ_12| + ln|ρ_23|) = -(Δ_13 - (1/2)(Δ_12 + Δ_23)) · γ = -D · γ with D := Δ_13 - (1/2)(Δ_12 + Δ_23). This cancels the gauge fields u_i, and the associated dimensionless geometry factors r'_ij := exp[-(Δ_ij - (1/2)(Δ_ik + Δ_kj)) · γ] obey the exact identity (r'_13)² = r'_12 · r'_23 in any sector. 3. DOWN SECTOR FIXES S For the down sector we take the standard tuples (1,1,1), (3,0,2), (5,-1,3) hence Δ_12 = Δ_23 = (2,1,1), Δ_13 = (4,2,2), which are additive. Using the measured magnitudes |ρ_12| = 13.2668, |ρ_23| = 3.6832, |ρ_13| = 1.3829 we find (natural logs) ln|ρ_12| = 2.585297, ln|ρ_23| = 1.303779, ln|ρ_13| = 0.324207 Midpoint invariant gives K_d = 0.324207 - (1/2)(2.585297 + 1.303779) = -1.620331 so S := -(2,1,1) · γ = -K_d = 1.620331, r := e^(-S) = 0.197848 This is the ONLY combination the down sector fixes: 2γ_N + γ_w + γ_T = S 4. UP SECTOR CLOSES γ_T FROM A SINGLE SCALAR For the refined up tuples (1,1,1), (3,0,2), (7,-2,5) one finds Δ_12 = (2,1,1), Δ_23 = (4,2,3), Δ_13 = (6,3,4) (additive). The up midpoint geometry is x := r'^(u)_13 = exp[-(3, 1.5, 2) · γ] Parameterizing u := γ_w/S, v := γ_T/S, γ_N = (S/2)(1-u-v), one obtains the closed inversion ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ γ_T = -2ln x - 3S │ └─────────────────────────┘ valid for the additive up triple. The remaining up geometry factors then follow from identities: r'^(u)_12 = e^(-S), r'^(u)_23 = x²/e^(-S), (r'^(u)_13)² = r'^(u)_12 · r'^(u)_23 The vertex simplex constraint implies a falsifiable band x ∈ [e^(-2S), e^(-1.5S)] = [0.03916, 0.08795]. 5. ONE AUXILIARY MIDPOINT INVARIANT CLOSES γ_N, γ_w Let a second sector X supply a single midpoint invariant K^(X) with D_X = (A,B,C) := Δ_13^(X) - (1/2)(Δ_12^(X) + Δ_23^(X)). Then K^(X) = -D_X · γ = -Aγ_N - Bγ_w - Cγ_T together with the sum rule, forms a 2×2 linear system in (γ_N, γ_w) with γ_T already known. Solving gives ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ γ_N = (-K^(X) - Cγ_T - B(S - γ_T))/(A - 2B) │ │ γ_w = S - γ_T - 2γ_N │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ A particularly clean choice is D_X = (4,1,2), yielding ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ γ_N = (-K^(X) - S - γ_T)/2 │ │ γ_w = 2S + K^(X) │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ 6. NUMERICAL SOLUTION AND VALIDATION With S = 1.620331, x = 0.070, K^(X) = -2.50, D_X = (4,1,2): γ_T = -2ln(0.070) - 3(1.620331) = 0.457527 γ_N = (-(-2.50) - 1.620331 - 0.457527)/2 = 0.211071 γ_w = 2(1.620331) - 2.50 = 0.740662 CHECKS: - Sum-rule: 2γ_N + γ_w + γ_T = 1.620331 = S ✓ - All γ_i ≥ 0 ✓ - Admissibility: K^(X) = -2.50 ∈ [-3.240662, -2.077858] ✓ 7. GEOMETRY FACTORS ACROSS SECTORS Given γ, the midpoint geometry factors are fixed in any sector. Down (additive): (1,1,1), (3,0,2), (5,-1,3) r'^(d)_12 = r'^(d)_23 = e^(-S) = 0.197848 r'^(d)_13 = e^(-2S) = 0.039156 Up (additive): (1,1,1), (3,0,2), (7,-2,5) Input x = r'^(u)_13 = 0.070 r'^(u)_12 = 0.197848 r'^(u)_23 = 0.070²/0.197848 = 0.02478 (r'^(u)_13)² = r'^(u)_12 · r'^(u)_23 ✓ Auxiliary X (additive tuples with noncolinear D_X = (4,1,2)): For (1,1,1), (4,0,2), (9,-1,5): Δ_12 = (3,1,1), Δ_23 = (5,1,3), Δ_13 = (8,2,4) D_X = (4,1,2) r'^(X)_12 = e^(-(3,1,1)·γ) = 0.1601 r'^(X)_23 = e^(-(5,1,3)·γ) = 0.0420 r'^(X)_13 = e^(-(4,1,2)·γ) = 0.0821 K^(X) = ln(r'^(X)_13) - (1/2)(ln(r'^(X)_12) + ln(r'^(X)_23)) = -2.500 ✓ 8. PHENOMENOLOGY SNAPSHOTS FCNC scaling: Dimension-8 scaling for b→sγ gives BR ∝ |ρ^(d)_23|² (m_b/M_φ)⁴ with |ρ^(d)_23| = 3.6832, m_b = 4.18 GeV: BR ≃ 4.14×10⁻⁹ (1 TeV), 5.11×10⁻¹¹ (3 TeV), 4.14×10⁻¹³ (10 TeV) Fifth force: A Yukawa deviation ΔF/F = α(1 + m_y r)e^(-m_y r) with α ≲ 10⁻³, m_y ≳ 5 m⁻¹ gives, at r = 1 m, ΔF/F ≈ 4.04×10⁻⁵ and a corresponding PPN deviation γ - 1 ≈ -1.35×10⁻⁵. 9. FALSIFIABILITY AND MINIMAL DATA The framework is fixed by two scalars beyond down: x = r'^(u)_13 (additive up) and one midpoint K^(X) for any sector with D_X not colinear with (2,1,1). Falsification occurs if: - x ∉ [e^(-2S), e^(-1.5S)] - The inferred γ violates positivity or sum-rule - CP triangle check: Δφ = φ_13 - φ_12 - φ_23 ≈ 0 (mod π) 10. ONE-PAGE RECIPE 1. From down data (midpoint gauge) compute S = -(2,1,1)·γ 2. Measure one up scalar x = r'^(u)_13 for the additive up triple; infer γ_T = -2ln x - 3S 3. Measure one auxiliary midpoint K^(X) with known D_X; solve γ_N, γ_w from linear system 4. Predict any sector midpoint geometry r'_ij 5.
