Quark Model & Flavour Generations

Quarks are SM names for lobes / channels — not free particles and not a counted 3-site photograph. Light G₂ 3⊕3̄ is a flavour-slot column. FL-HEAVY is parked.

Reading this entry

Quarks here are lobe and channel labels on geometric seats. The proton seat T(2,3) carries two internal lobes and the neutron seat T(3,2) carries three, the light slot is the G₂ column 3 ⊕ 3̄, and the modelled generation scale Ξ_gen sits beside the FL-HEAVY catalogue masses.

What this is used for

Use this page to read nucleon lobes, the light flavour-slot column, and the generation-scale factor. It keeps μ_n/μ_p = −2/3 as the SU(6) compatibility formula and lists the parked heavy-flavour catalogue masses beside Ξ_gen.

Walk through

The proton seat T(2,3) is read with two internal lobes and the neutron seat T(3,2) with three. Light flavour supplies the G₂ ⊃ SU(3) slot 3 ⊕ 3̄, read as the labels u, d, and s. The winding ratio p/q = 2/3 of T(2,3) is the knot identity, two lobes over three lobes is also 2/3, and μ_n/μ_p = −2/3 stands as the SU(6) compatibility formula with the magnitudes as inputs. The modelled generation scale is Ξ_gen = (1 + 3/(2α_fs))^{4/3} ≈ 1243.6. The catalogue then lists up 2.16 MeV, charm 1.27 GeV, and top 171.50 GeV at charge +2/3, and down 4.67 MeV, strange 93.4 MeV, and bottom 4.13 GeV at charge −1/3, gathered as the FL-HEAVY catalogue.

Integrity note (Doctrine v1.1.2): Equivalence is to measurements, not to QCD ontology. A probe of an intact proton has not demonstrated three quarks. Virtual photons are not CPT objects. Quantitative rows below are modelled / catalogue unless they appear on the status board as established free theorems. FL-HEAVY parked; six-quark

map forbidden as a derivation. See /framework.

1. Lobes and channels — not free quarks

In this framework a “quark” is an SM-equivalent name for a lobe or interaction channel of a geometric seat. It is not a CPT primitive and not a knot-diagram crossing. A probe of an intact proton has not counted three quarks.

Structural lab reading (not a laboratory photograph): the proton seat has two internal lobes; the neutron seat has three. That is a discriminator versus QCD’s bookkeeping. It is not a licence to paste a third lobe onto the proton. Light flavour geometry supplies a slot that may be read as after packaging — that slot is not a count of sites on one nucleon.

The winding ratio of is a knot identity. Two lobes over three lobes is also . Neither derives the magnetic-moment ratio (SU(6) catalogue; magnitudes are inputs).

2. Heavy generation scale (FL-HEAVY parked)

Free on octonion basis vectors is forbidden as a derivation. The residual is heavy multiplet membership and scale — parked after lab H1–H6. The factor below is a modelled generation-scale package, not a six-quark ontology:

Universal Generation Scaling Factor

3. SM export names (catalogue — not a derived six-quark ontology)

The table below is SM bookkeeping / a parked generation package. Free on octonion is forbidden as a derivation. FL-HEAVY membership remains parked.

Quark Family	Gen 1 ($n=0$)	Gen 2 ($n=1$)	Gen 3 ($n=2$)	Status
Up-Type ($Q=+2/3$)	Up (2.16 MeV)	Charm (1.27 GeV)	Top (171.50 GeV)	Modelled [M]
Down-Type ($Q=-1/3$)	Down (4.67 MeV)	Strange (93.4 MeV)	Bottom (4.13 GeV)	Modelled [M]

STATUS: [M] MODELLED PACKAGE

Light structure is banked as a flavour-slot column. A six-flavour mass table is a modelled / parked export, not an [E] derivation and not a count of sites on the proton.
