Preprint reveals mathematical derivations linking fine-structure constant to elementary particle behavior, suggesting implications for quark mass hierarchies.
This paper presents version 10 of the Emergent Resonant Brane (ERB) model, which defines elementary particles as resonant oscillation nodes within an elastic vacuum brane (tension ε₀ ≈ 0.1099). The central element of this framework is the identification of a fundamental 7.02% geometric asymmetry ("gap") between the up- and down-quark sectors, acting as the mechanical driver for global phase synchronization. We mathematically derive that the system enforces a topological phase-lock at γ = 2π, enabling the definition of a stable 4-pi fermion state. We demonstrate the existence of an algebraic coupling between the dispersion exponent β of the whip-core and the mass-scaling exponent α in the form of α · β = γ = 2π. This relation allows for the direct calculation of the fine-structure constant αₑₘ as a mechanical amplitude ratio with 99.9% accuracy relative to experimental values. Furthermore, the observed hierarchy of the six quark masses—including the extreme scaling factor of 8 · 10⁴ between the up and top quarks—is attributed to an exponential r2π dependence. While the topological structure is strictly dictated by 2π, we identify a remaining numerical divergence as the effect of a transducer operator T. This operator mediates between the "naked" Bessel geometry and the effective inertia of the brane. The consistency of the model is validated through a simultaneous fit of both isospin sectors, where the "honest limit" of the theory is discussed as a necessary consequence of vacuum warping effects.
