A working model of baryon masses is presented, based on relativistic kinematics of three quarks sharing a common characteristic momentum. The system mass is defined as the sum of relativistic energies of the components without invoking gluon fields. The sole calibration parameter—the momentum scale p₀—is fixed once using the proton mass. The model reproduces the proton mass with 0. 003\% accuracy, the neutron with 0. 14\% accuracy, and -resonances with 1. 5\% accuracy. For strange baryons, deviations range from 5--15\%, indicating the limits of the ultra-relativistic approximation and the necessity of accounting for color structure as a geometric property of projection from Level A. The hadron radius is not used to calculate mass—it emerges as a consequence of dynamics. This work is under development; the purpose of publication is to attract constructive criticism and demonstrate the viability of the conceptual approach.
