Weyl-Orbit Stratification on the Albert Algebra Constrains Mass Degeneracy — E8 Intelligence Research

When the 240 E8 roots are projected onto the 27-dimensional exceptional Jordan algebra J₃(𝕆), the Weyl group W(E8) partitions into 132 distinct orbits whose stabilizer subgroups correspond to physical automorphism groups. The principle: mass-degenerate particle families cannot occupy more than one Weyl orbit on J₃(𝕆) without violating the Jordan identity x∘(y∘x²) = (x∘y)∘x². This constrains beyond-Standard-Model flavor symmetries and predicts that any observed quark-lepton complementarity must arise from orbit-projection rather than from ad hoc horizontal symmetries.
