The Neutrino Masses: A Forced Splitting Ratio, the Normal Ordering, No Massless State, and the Cosmological Sum
Abstract
One axiom. One operation. Zero free parameters. Neutrinos have mass, but their masses are among the least-pinned numbers in physics: only mass-squared differences are measured, the ordering is unsettled, and whether the lightest is massless is unknown. This paper forces the structure. The single-handed neutrinos place their mass-squared splittings on the binary tower at the down covering depth five: Δm²₂₁/Δm²₃₁ = (1/32)(24/25) = 3/100, so Δm²₃₁/Δm²₂₁ = 100/3 ≈ 33 (measured ≈ 34). The normal ordering is forced. The fold forbids a massless state, so the lightest neutrino is not massless — it sits at the floor. With one measured splitting anchoring the scale, the individual masses and the cosmological sum Σmν follow as a forced lower prediction — the very quantity cosmology and KATRIN are closing in on. Machine-checked; reproduces from one command. A standalone result within the Smithian Fold Theory of Everything (SFTOE).
