α = 1/k: A Geometric Framework for Standard Model Gauge Couplings

Key Points

• The aim is to propose a geometric construction that explains the gauge structure of the Standard Model without fitting coupling constants.
• Develop a geometric framework for the Standard Model
• Propose an alternative explanation for gauge structure
• Make three falsifiable predictions based on the framework
• Predictions derived from the framework can be tested empirically
• No coupling constants are required in the model
• The model challenges existing interpretations of gauge interactions
