QWD — Quantum Weak Dynamics

WEAK SCALE · 10⁻¹⁸ m · W± / Z⁰ bosons

The weak interaction is the second of the two scales where ICT constructions apply directly. Its chiral (left-handed-only) structure is exactly the kind of fact a constructive geometric picture should produce rather than postulate. Draft work here parallels the corner-cubie reconstruction underway at the QCD scale.

Governing Equation — Weak-Sector Lagrangian

ℒ_W = −¼W^a_μνW^aμν + ψ̄_Liγ^μD_μψ_L

Current Problems at the QWD Scale

(really rough working list — draft, to be refined)

Origin of neutrino masses and mixing angles
Matter–antimatter asymmetry — CP violation is too small in the standard picture
Chirality — why does the weak force couple to left-handed states only?
ICT: needs a constructive restatement with causality-safe anti-particle states (no Hermitian adjoint)

Scope: ICT scope note: ACTIVE. QWD and QCD are the two working scales of the constructivist program.
