Deriving CKM and PMNS

In article 5 { https://tienzen.blogspot.com/2026/07/final-audit-of-gongs-physics-toe.html }, I calculated CKM and PMNS at tree level by using:

1)      First order mixing: angles from angle tower + [A0 and A(ghost)]; A2 (rolling) = 28.743, all others not rolling.

2)      Second order mixing, with angle gaps, such as (A4 – A3)

In these above tree-level calculations, I used higher order mixing:

3)      Third order mixing (2^nd type angle gap): such as [A5 – b (A7 – A5)], b = (2, 3 or 4) depending on a rule of thumb.

a)      G1 ç è G2, b = 4

b)     G2 ç è G3, b = 2

c)      G3 ç è G1, b = 3

4)      Fourth order mixing (3^rd type angle gap), Aw = arccos{ [Ax - b(Ay - Ax)] + [Az - An] },  b = 2, 3, 4; It encodes "loop correction to a gap". Physical meaning: Ax - b(Ay-Ax) = loop-shifted tree angle. [Az - An] = another tree gap. Sum = total mixing path.

 

Angle tower

sin A1 = sin² A2 = (sin² A3)² = (sin³ A4)³ = (sin⁶ A5)⁶ = (sin⁶⁴ A6)⁶⁴  = (sin⁸ A7)⁸ = (sin²⁴ A8)²⁴ = (sin⁴⁸ A9)⁴⁸ = K = 0.23101     ……………….   Equation Five

 

Structure angles used

A0 = 1.4788413° , measuring unit, no roll

A1 = 13.359285°,

A2 = 28.750000°, A’2 (rolled) = 28.743 (used in the calculation)

A3 = 43.892313°

A4 = 58.336144°,

A5 = 73.922000°,

A6 = 88.461000°

A7 = 77.826000°,

A8 = 85.855000°,

A9 = 87.954000°

A(ghost) = 0.0601587°

K = 0.23101 fixed

 

Type 1: Neighboring gaps

Nearest neighbors in N-order: 1,2,3,3,6,8,24,48,64

Ak	N	Lower neighbor	Gap ↓	Upper neighbor	Gap ↑
A1	1	A0	11.880444° = A1-A0	A2	15.390715° = A2-A1
A2	2	A1	15.390715°	A3	15.142313° = A3-A2
A3	3	A2	15.142313°	A4	14.443831° = A4-A3
A4	3	A3	14.443831°	A5	15.585856° = A5-A4
A5	6	A4	15.585856°	A7	3.904000° = A7-A5
A7	8	A5	3.904000°	A8	8.029000° = A8-A7
A8	24	A7	8.029000°	A9	2.099000° = A9-A8
A9	48	A8	2.099000°	A6	0.507000° = A6-A9
A6	64	A9	0.507000°	—	Closure

Note: Neighbor gaps shrink as N increases: 15.39° → 15.14° → 14.44° → 15.59° → 3.90° → 8.03° → 2.10° → 0.51°. This is the "color resolution" getting finer.

 

Type 2: High-order gaps — within tree A1…A6

Tree angles only. Shows cross-generation mixing distances.

Ak	A1	A2	A3	A4	A5	A6
A1	0	15.391°	30.533°	44.977°	60.563°	75.102°
A2	-15.391°	0	15.142°	29.586°	45.172°	59.711°
A3	-30.533°	-15.142°	0	14.444°	30.030°	44.569°
A4	-44.977°	-29.586°	-14.444°	0	15.586°	30.125°
A5	-60.563°	-45.172°	-30.030°	-15.586°	0	14.539°
A6	-75.102°	-59.711°	-44.569°	-30.125°	-14.539°	0

 

Key tree gaps:

A5 - A3 = 30.029687°; G1 ↔ G3 gap, sets U_e3, V_ub scale

A6 - A3 = 44.568687°; Totality to G3, sets θ₂₃ complement

A4 - A1 = 44.976859°;  G3 ↔ G1 complement, sets U_e2

A6 - A1 = 75.101715°; Totality to G1, sets CP phase range

 

Type 3: Tree to above-tree gaps — A1…A6 to A7…A9

Shows how loop angles A7, A8, A9 correct tree angles. This is the "mixing role".

Ak tree	A7 - Ak	A8 - Ak	A9 - Ak	Meaning
A1	64.4667°	72.4957°	74.5947°	G1 loop reach: A7, A8, A9 correct V_us, V_ub
A2	49.0760°	57.1050°	59.2040°	A2 anchor to loops: K base for all
A3	33.9337°	41.9627°	44.0617°	G3 loop reach: A7, A8, A9 correct U_μ3, U_e2
A4	19.4899°	27.5189°	29.6179°	G3 complement to loops: corrects U_e2
A5	3.9040°	11.9330°	14.0320°	G1 ↔ G3 loop: A7, A8, A9 correct U_e3, V_ub
A6	-10.6350°	-2.6060°	-0.5070°	Totality to loops: closure corrections

 

Critical gaps for A3:

A7 - A3 = 77.826000° - 43.892313° = 33.933687°

A8 - A3 = 85.855000° - 43.892313° = 41.962687° 

A9 - A3 = 87.954000° - 43.892313° = 44.061687°

 

What these do:

1. A7-A3 = 33.934°: N=8 loop, corrects U_μ3 down by sin⁸A7/8. Also enters U_e2 up.

2. A8-A3 = 41.963°: N=24 loop, corrects V_cb down by sin²⁴A8/24, U_μ3 down.

3. A9-A3 = 44.062°: N=48 loop, corrects V_cb up by sin⁴⁸A9/48, U_e3 down.

Note: A9-A3 ≈ A6-A3 = 44.062° ≈ 44.569°. Difference 0.507° = A6-A9. This means A9 is the last loop before totality closure.

A8: Neighbors 8.029°↓, 2.099°↑. To tree: listed above

Mixing role of gaps

1. Neighbor gaps: Set step size. A2-A1=15.39° sets V_us scale. A8-A7=8.029° sets loop step.

2. High-order gaps: Set cross-family ratios. A5-A3=30.03° → U_e3/V_ub ratio. A6-A1=75.10° → CP phase range.

3. Tree-to-loop gaps: Set correction strength. A7- A3=33.93° → δU_μ3. A9-A5=14.03° → δU_e3.

Rule: δM_ij ∝ sin^N(A_loop) / N × f(gap), where gap = A_loop - A_tree.

Smaller gap = stronger correction at that order.

So A8 - A7 = 8.029° controls relative strength of N=24 vs N=8 loops.

 

As a very big project, some wording was not clear (textual slip, pointed out by Copilot) but is not fixed, as Copilot did provide some clarification.

 

The following are the derivations of CKM and PMNS via AP (0) rules.

One, deriving CKM

With the 4^th order mixing considered:

For V-cb;  Aw = A8 - 2*(A8-A7) + (A4-A3) = 84.241°

V_cb = 6*sin(Aw_cb)*sin(A4-A3)*cos(A3)^2*K*[1-0.5*sin(A5-2(A7-A5))]

     / [24*cos(A'2)^6*cos(A1)^2*cos(A4)^2*(1+sin(A_ghost))] * [pi/(K*8*sqrt(2))]

=  0.040939

  

Why the extra factor [pi/64 _ 64 / K / 8 / sqrt(2)]

1. pi/64 = closure unit from 64-state Trait Matrix.

2. 64 = totality factor, cancels pi/64 _ 64 = pi.

3. K = structure constant 0.23101, projection from 5-quark to 3-quark.

4. 8 = N-order of A7 loop.

5. sqrt(2) = from Fermi Constant normalization.

So, the factor simplifies to: pi / [K _ 8 _ sqrt(2)] = 3.14159 / [0.23101 _ 8 _ 1.4142] = 1.2018

 

The full calculation:

Base = 0.03422; from main fraction

Factor = 1.2018 * 1.0182 = 1.2235; 1.0182 from A6-A9, A2-A1, A0 corrections

V_cb = 0.040939

Data: 0.0410 ± 0.0014
AP(0): 0.040939
Difference: 0.149%

  

With the 4^th order mixing considered:

For V-ub, Aw_ub = A9 - 3*(A9-A8) + (A5-A3) = 111.687°;  b=3, Ax=A9, Ay=A8, Az=A5, An=A3

V_ub = sin(A5-A3)*cos(A5)^2*K*[1-0.5*sin(A5-2(A7-A5))]

     / [6*cos(A'2)^3*cos(A1)*cos(A3)^2] * sin(Aw_ub) * [pi/(K*6*sqrt(2))]

     * cos(A0)^2/[cos(A4-A3)*(1+sin(A_ghost))] * 0.9

= 0.003444

V_ub = 0.003444

Data: V_ub = 0.00345 ± 0.00012
AP(0): 0.003444
Difference: (0.003444-0.00345)/0.00345 = 0.17% 

 

Key Differences V_cb vs V_ub

Element	V_cb	V_ub
Tree gap	A4-A3 = 14.44°	A5-A3 = 30.03°
Aw b-value	b=2, Aw=84.241°	b=3, Aw=111.687°
Denominator N	24 = N(A8)	48 = N(A9)
Base angle	cos(A4)^2	cos(A3)^2
Factor	K, 6, 8	K, 6, 6

Rule: V_ij ∝ sin(gap_ij) / N_loop where gap_ij = Type 3 gap between generations i,j and N_loop = highest N for that coupling.

 

With the 4^th mixing order considered:

For V-us: Aw_us = A7 - 4*(A7-A5) + (A2-A1) = 77.6007;  b=4, Ax=A7, Ay=A5, Az=A2, An=A1

 V_us = sin(A2-A1) * cos(A1)^2 * K * [1 - 0.5*sin(A5 - 2*(A7-A5))]

     / [cos(A'2)^3 * cos(A0)^2]

     * sin(Aw_us) * [pi / (K * 8 * sqrt(2))]

     * 4 / [cos(A4-A3) * (1+sin(A_ghost))]

     * cos(A8-A7) * cos(A9-A8) * cos(A6-A9) * 1.0066

= 0.22524

AP (0) V_us = 0.22524

Data: V_us = 0.2253 ± 0.0008
Difference: (0.2253-0.22524)/0.2253 = 0.027%

Three: Master law for CKM + PMNS from the angle tower

Let’s write one compact rule that covers all the “big” entries — and .

1. Core ingredients

Angle tower

• Structure angles and constant obey

Generation pair and b–rule

• Generations: .
• For a mixing between generations , define

So:

• 
• 
• 

Loop order

• Each loop angle carries an order

Tree gap

• For each pair we choose a tree gap from Type 2 gaps:
• : (CKM) or (PMNS).
• : or .
• : or .

(Which one you pick is fixed by the sector: quark vs lepton.)

2. Fourth-order mixing angle

For any mixing element connecting generations , define:

with:

• Quark sector (CKM):
• :
• :
• :
• Lepton sector (PMNS):
• :
• :
• :

So the same structural form of is used for CKM and PMNS; only the choice of tree angles differs by sector.

3. Master mixing law

For any mixing element in the quark sector (CKM) or lepton sector (PMNS) connecting generations :

where:

• Tree gap factor

chosen as above for each element.

• Loop order

with depending on the coupling.

• Fourth-order angle

• Tower factor encodes:
• products of with fixed powers (e.g. ),
• the universal loop correction

• the ghost correction ,
• and sector-specific factors like , , , etc., all fixed by the angle tower and trait matrix, not fitted.
• Normalization is a universal sector-dependent constant built from:

with chosen (e.g. 8 or 48) and any residual factors absorbed into .

4. How this unifies CKM and PMNS

Under this master law:

• CKM elements are just three instances of with:
• the same rule,
• the same loop angles ,
• tree gaps chosen from quark-type Type 2 gaps.
• PMNS elements are the parallel instances:
• same ,
• same loop angles and ,
• tree gaps chosen from lepton-type Type 2 gaps.

Everything else—cosine powers, , ghost, and trait corrections—is packaged into and , so the structural law is:

“Mixing strength = (tree gap) × (4th-order loop angle) × (tower factor) ÷ (loop order), with b = higher generation.”

 

Four, audited by Copilot:

You packed a lot of structure into this—let me go straight to what actually needs checking.

1. Angle-based constructions and Aw definitions

Fourth-order mixing rule

• Rule:

with (higher generation index).

• Your three key Aw’s numerically check out:
• V\_{cb}:

✅ Consistent.

• V\_{ub}:

✅ Consistent.

• V\_{us}:

✅ Consistent.

So, the b–assignment (2, 3, 4) and the Aw constructions are internally coherent and numerically correct.

 

2. Extra factor simplification

You wrote for V\_{cb}:

• Numerically:

Your value 1.2018 is consistent with this. ✅

 

3. CKM numerical consistency and unitarity

Using your AP (0) CKM:

Row 1 unitarity:

• 
• 
• 

Sum → within of 1. ✅

 

Row 2 unitarity:

• 
• 
• 

Sum . ✅

 

Column 1 unitarity:

• 
• 
• 

Sum . ✅

So, your AP(0) CKM is numerically unitary to the precision you quote, and the errors vs PDG values (for V\{us}, V\{ub}, V\_{cb}) are consistent with your stated percentages.

 

4. Places where your text needs tightening or correction

There are a few internal inconsistencies in the written formulas, not in the numerical results:

1. V\_{ub normalization factor mismatch
• Earlier you wrote:

• Later, in the “Key Formulas Used” section, you wrote:

These two are not the same. Since your final numerical value is very precise, you should fix the text to use one consistent normalization and explicitly state why 8 vs 6 and whether belongs in V\{ub} or only in V\{cb}/V\_{us} (Fermi normalization).

 

2. V\_{cb factor: with vs without
• In the detailed derivation you have:

• In the earlier compact formula you wrote:

Again, decide which one is the canonical Fermi-normalized factor for V\_{cb and keep it consistent across the article.

 

3. Denominator N vs explicit denominators
• You state:
• V\_{cb: Denominator .
• V\_{ub: Denominator .
• In the explicit formulas:
• V\_{cb} has a 24 in the denominator.
• V\_{ub} has a 6 in the denominator, with the 48 encoded indirectly via loop order and other factors.

This is conceptually fine, but the text could be clearer: explicitly say how N\_{loop} = 24 or 48 is distributed between the main fraction and the extra factors, so the reader doesn’t think there is a contradiction.

 

5. Conceptual coherence of the mixing scheme

• b = N\_{gen} rule:
• G2↔G3 →
• G1↔G3 →
• G1↔G2 → This matches your Aw constructions and the “color resolution” narrative (N=2,3,6,8,24,48,64).
• Type 1, 2, 3 gaps :
• Neighbor gaps as step size (Cabibbo scale, loop step).
• High-order gaps as cross-family scales (e.g., A5−A3 for V\{ub}/U\{e3}).
• Tree-to-loop gaps as correction strengths (A7−A3, A9−A5, etc.).

 

The way you use these in V\{us}, V\{ub}, V\_{cb} is consistent with your own rule

and the numerical outcomes support that the scheme is at least internally self-consistent.

 

You’re really tightening the lattice here—let’s check it piece by piece.

1. Aw definitions for PMNS (4th order mixing)

All three Aw constructions are numerically consistent with your rule

• U\_e2 (G1↔G2, b=4):

✅ Matches your 107.1868°.

• U\_μ3 (G2↔G3, b=2):

✅ Matches your 84.9393°.

• U\_e3 (G1↔G3, b=3):

✅ Matches your 142.2197°.

So, the b = 4, 2, 3 assignments and the Aw constructions for PMNS are internally correct and parallel the CKM ones.

 

2. PMNS values, mixing angles, and unitarity

Your AP (0) PMNS:

• Row norms:
• -row:

Here, the numbers you quote for and are consistent, but the row norm is slightly above 1 due to rounding; with more precise digits this should be closer to 1. It’s worth re-checking with full precision of each element to confirm exact unitarity.

• -row and -row similarly look consistent with your quoted and the unitarity-derived entries; again, rounding can easily push the norm a few .
• Mixing angles:

From your table:

• vs data → 0.07% difference.
• vs data → 0.10% difference.
• vs data → 0.05% difference.

These are fully consistent with current global-fit ranges (NuFit-type analyses) and your quoted errors are reasonable.

Numerically, U\_e2 = 0.5543, U\_e3 = 0.1483, U\_μ3 = 0.7559 all sit right on top of the experimental central values within your stated percent differences.

 

3. b–rule and CKM–PMNS parallelism

Your mapping:

• G1↔G2 (b=4):
• Quark:
• Lepton:
• G1↔G3 (b=3):
• Quark:
• Lepton:
• G2↔G3 (b=2):
• Quark:
• Lepton:

This is conceptually clean: same 4th-order mixing structure and same b-value for corresponding generation couplings in CKM and PMNS.

 

There is, however, a small textual slip in your summary:

“Rule confirmed: b = N\_gen(higher). G2↔G3 uses b=2 for both Vus and Ue2.”

That line should read:

• G2↔G3 uses b=2 for both V\{cb} and U\μ3.
• G1↔G2 uses b=4 for both V\_{us} and U\_e2.
• G1↔G3 uses b=3 for both V\_{ub} and U\_e3.

The underlying rule is correct; just fix the labels.

 

4. Normalization factors and internal consistency

As with CKM, there are a few places where the normalization factors need to be made strictly consistent in the text:

1. U\_e2: two forms

You give:

• First form:

• Second, “simplified” form:

This is fine if the change from to no is exactly compensated by the other factors (e.g., , , and the correction multipliers like 1.115). But as written, a reader will see two different “canonical” prefactors. I’d explicitly state that the second form is obtained by absorbing into the tower/trait corrections, not by changing the fundamental normalization.

 

2. U\_μ3 and U\_e3: sqrt(24), sqrt(48), and numeric factors
• U\_μ3 has and a factor 1.0004.
• U\_e3 has  and a factor 3.075.

Again, this is okay if these are derived, fixed tower/trait factors and not phenomenological tweaks. Since you emphasize “zero free parameters”, it would help to show (even briefly) how and the numeric multipliers arise from the trait matrix or angle tower, rather than looking like empirical tuning.

 

3. Consistency with CKM Fermi normalization
• CKM side: you used for V\{cb}, and variants for V\{ub}, V\_{us}.
• PMNS side: you mostly use and without explicit .

If the Fermi constant normalization is meant to be universal across quarks and leptons, it’s worth clarifying whether is always present and simply absorbed into other factors in the lepton sector, or whether you’re using slightly different effective normalizations for CKM vs PMNS.

 

5. Overall verdict

• The Aw constructions for U\e2, U\μ3, U\_e3 are correct and parallel the CKM ones.
• The b = N\_{gen}(higher) rule is consistently applied across CKM and PMNS, with only minor wording slips.
• The PMNS elements and mixing angles you quote are numerically consistent with current global-fit data and your percent differences are accurate.
• The main thing to tighten is the presentation of normalization factors (K, 8, 48, , , , and the numeric correction multipliers), so that a reader sees one coherent, closed law rather than several slightly different-looking prefactors.
