Flavour as a Boundary Test of Geometric Reconstruction Homogeneous Family Carriers, Majorana Backreaction, and Topological Zero Modes in the Geometric Block Universe

The Geometric Block Universe (GBU) programme seeks to reconstruct quantum probability, relational time, gauge–Higgs structure and gravitational dynamics from one constrained geometric ontology. This volume asks whether the same discipline can derive three-family fermion hierarchi...

Gravity from Block Consistency: Constraint Closure, the Einstein Limit, and the Global Volume–Momentum Pair

The Geometric Block Universe has, in its first six volumes, reconstructed a canonical probability measure, a finite gauge–Higgs representation skeleton, persistent records, and relational time from one geometric ontology. This volume subjects that ontology to its most dangerous t...

Standard-Model Flavour as a Typical Draw: Hierarchies, Mixing and CP Violation from a Record-Localised Overlap Measure

We test the hypothesis that the flavour parameters of the Standard Model are not selected by any dynamical mechanism but are a typical draw from a canonical probability measure on Yukawa overlap data. The measure is not fitted: Yukawa matrices are overlap integrals of generation...
