Abstract

One axiom. One operation. Zero free parameters. The fundamental fermion masses span twelve orders of magnitude and are, in the Standard Model, twelve unrelated free inputs; new particles usually require an invented mass scale. This paper shows there is one chain for every fermion mass, old and new, with no separate scale. A fermion’s mass-part is the shortfall from unison of its sector’s holding coupling — one minus the coupling, which for prime sector p is take(One,(p−1)/p) = 1/p. The electron is the electroweak sector (p=2): 1−1/2 = 1/2. The up quark is the strong sector (p=3): 1−2/3 = 1/3. The new Smithions are coloured fermions of the new sectors (p=5,7): their mass-parts are 1/5 and 1/7, the same 1/p their force carries, with generation ratios from the coloured cubic that fixes the quarks. No invented confinement scale; a unified theory does not fork. The tower is anchored to the One (electroweak at Planck/2⁵⁶, proton at Planck/2^(127/2)), so the new mass on the horizon is fixed on the same chain as the electron. One mechanism, one chain, every mass forced. Machine-checked; reproduces from one command. A standalone result within the Smithian Fold Theory of Everything (SFTOE).
