Flavor-Sector Structure from the Split Exceptional Jordan Algebra J₃(𝕠ₛ): CKM, PMNS, and Light Fermion Masses from a Rank-2 Vacuum

ABSTRACT

The flavor-sector extension of the split-exceptional-Jordan-algebra program introduced in Paper 1. The same rank-2 vacuum Qvac = diag(φ², 1, 0) generates complementary mixing patterns through two canonical algebraic operations on J₃(𝕠ₛ) — the Jordan triple product (small CKM mixing) and the Freudenthal cross product (large PMNS mixing).

The CKM hierarchy |Vus| >> |Vcb| >> |Vub| is derived as a structural consequence of the degenerate vacuum eigenvalue λ₃ = 0. Both CP-violating phases emerge from one torsion coefficient βδ = 11/(6π) through a bilinear/linear vacuum weighting distinction: δCKM ≈ 70.2° (PDG 68.8° ± 3.4°, gap +0.4σ) and δPMNS ≈ −133.4° (PDG −141.8°, gap ~6%).

The vacuum admits a physical interpretation as a degenerate three-charge black hole in the E₆(₆) attractor framework: λ₃ = 0 corresponds to zero horizon area, the CKM hierarchy is horizon degeneracy, and CKM/PMNS CP sign duality is BH/WH time-reversal.
