Ten rows, one generation

The ten exterior rows laid out as a weight diagram with hypercharge on an axis, and the familiar names fading in on the rows.

The relation on screen

The surviving label set reproduces one fermion generation with anomaly-free hypercharges.

what to look for · Charges come out in thirds without being put in in thirds. The sum rule closes on the nose.

Consensus to physics

  1. 01take a carrier with 3 colour modes and 2 weak modes
  2. 02list its exterior components by occupancy (c, w)
  3. 03the charge is forced: q = -2c + 3w
  4. 04all ten charged rows satisfy the descent condition, and their hypercharges are the Standard Model's

In standard physics

One Standard Model fermion generation

Reading Y = q/6 off the rows gives 1/6, 2/3, -1/3, -1/2, -1 and their conjugates. The famously conspiratorial hypercharges are here the solution set of a consistency condition, and complementation is charge conjugation.

boundary · No three generations, no masses, no mixing angles, no couplings. The 3+2 mode split is assumed and ten rows is a grouping result.
