Appendix I — Derivation 9: Strong & Weak Phenomena from Modal Anchoring
(Built on Foundations v1.0 – 2025-06-10)
No forces, no gauge bosons.
What the Standard Model calls SU(3) “colour” and SU(2) “weak” forces
arises in Phase-Biased Geometry from anchoring balance, saturation and
chirality-dependent cost.
1 Confinement = multi-sheet anchoring
See Appendix W - Colour Lagrangian Derivation for the three-sheet proton.
- Single colour sheet → coherence cost diverges
(anchoring imbalance). - Triplet combination
cancels net phase flux ⇒ finite cost.
This reproduces: free quark absence, baryon colour-neutrality, meson
(doublet) stability.
2 Internal distortions = gluon analogue
Within a colour-neutral cluster the three sheets twist and retwist.
Those phase-derivative distortions are the dynamical variables that
appear in the SU(3) quartic term of
Appendix W - Colour Lagrangian Derivation.
Energy is stored as coherence curvature—no standalone gluon field.
3 Chirality cost and weak phenomena
[[Magnetic-Moment Structures]]
shows handed phase windings.
A parity-bias term
(Concept-v2 Stage D) gives lower anchoring cost for left-handed
envelopes. Consequences:
Observation | PBG reading |
---|---|
Parity violation | lower cost ⇒ L modes dominate interactions |
β-decay | handed sheet re-tiling in neutron core releases a minimal phase packet (mode ≡ ν̄ₑ) |
V–A current | chirality weighting in interference term, no separate gauge field |
The single parameter δ is fixed once from neutron asymmetry; no new
couplings per flavour.
4 Modal decay channels
Decay happens when local saturation or chirality bias makes the current
configuration non-minimal. Allowed products must:
- Keep total winding & charge conserved (phase continuity).
- Individually anchor in the ambient field.
- Respect saturation exclusion (Pauli-type rule).
This reproduces observed selection rules without Feynman vertices.

Bottom line
Strong and weak effects in PBG are not separate forces but
geometric responses of coherence sheets to anchoring pressure and
handed phase bias. Quantitative work continues, but no extra
fundamental constants have been introduced beyond
