Baseline evaluation of electroweak thresholds shows limitations in reproducing the Weinberg angle, indicating further challenges.
A baseline execution of the frozen electroweak threshold specification established in GCFT-0426. This paper evaluates multiple threshold-aware Standard Model baseline scenarios under a strict no-retuning discipline to determine whether the original GCFT electroweak boundary conditions can reproduce the observed Weinberg angle. The analysis shows that threshold placement alone cannot resolve the discrepancy: all tested baselines either encounter a hypercharge pole or evolve in the wrong direction. The remaining blocker is identified as the absence of a GCFT Xi-dependent state vector, beta functions, and electroweak matching equations required for a complete derivation.
