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.
Constructivist approach
Current QCD is not a Lie algebra: it has no geometric representation. The ICT program replaces the eight Gell-Mann λ-matrices with eight corner cubies, each carrying three states — the correct way to handle anti-particles once the Hermitian-adjoint shortcut is excluded by the Harari–Seiberg causality criterion.
Governing Equation — Weak-Sector Lagrangian
ℒW = −¼WaμνWaμν + ψ̄LiγμDμψL
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.
