Neutrino Mass as Geometric Lag in Force-Line Orbitals - RJW

This paper presents a revolutionary geometric model for the neutrino: not a massive fermion, but a self-sustaining force-line helical orbital where effective mass emerges purely from path-length drag against the speed-of-light limit. The bulk velocity v=c(1−r2λ2) v = c \left(1 - \frac{r^2}{\lambda^2}\right) v=c(1−λ2r2) (with r r r orbital radius and λ=hc/E \lambda = hc/E λ=hc/E de Broglie wavelength) exactly reproduces measured relativistic delays. Oscillations arise from helix "breathing" (phase shifts in radius modes), not quantum mixing. Head-to-tail pairing prevents annihilation via 180° phase opposition, while odd-number braiding (three force-lines) enforces baryon asymmetry without CP violation.The model's extreme elegance resolves multiple problems: no Higgs for mass, no generations, no seesaw, no Sakharov conditions. It unifies neutrinos as "massive photons" under one force-line substrate and one c-constraint. Testable with existing time-of-flight data (MINOS, OPERA) and future coherent beams (DUNE, ESS). Indirect validation from current experiments; reanalysis of L/E plots and Δt \Delta t Δt measurements can confirm or falsify.This work challenges the Standard Model's phenomenological foundations, offering a geometric unification that derives Δm2 \Delta m^2 Δm2 from first principles without tuning. Critics may call it speculative—response: it predicts r from known Δm2 \Delta m^2 Δm2 and fits data better, falsifiable now.Open for collaboration—let's test it.This paper is part of a series on force-line unification and the Quantum Big Bang (QBB) framework. It resolves key anomalies in particle physics with extreme elegance, backed by existing data and testable predictions. Download the PDF for full math and derivations.
