MFT Q-BALL LEPTON MASS SOLVER ============================== Discovery script: the nonlinear Q-ball soliton equation in Monistic Field Theory naturally produces all three charged lepton masses to within ~1% from a single calibration (electron mass) and four potential parameters. KEY RESULT: Parameters: m2=1.0, lam4=2.0, lam6=0.5, Z=1.0, a=1.0 Calibration: m_e = 0.511 MeV <-> E0 = 0.00427 MFT units electron: predicted=0.511 MeV observed=0.511 MeV (calibration) muon: predicted=104.38 MeV observed=105.66 MeV error=1.2% tau: predicted=1769.6 MeV observed=1776.86 MeV error=0.4% R10 = mμ/me: model=204.3 observed=206.8 error=1.2% R21 = mτ/mμ: model=16.95 observed=16.82 error=0.8% R20 = mτ/me: model=3463 observed=3477 error=0.4% PHYSICAL PICTURE: The Q-ball potential V(φ) = m2φ²/2 − lam4φ⁴/4 + lam6φ⁶/6 has a barrier at φ_barrier = 0.7654 separating two regimes: LINEAR side (φ < φ_barrier = 0.765): electron (φ_core~0.02), muon (φ_core~0.71) NONLINEAR side (φ > φ_barrier): tau (φ_core~1.93, at φ_vacuum=1.848) The tau only forms when sufficient energy density is available to push the local contraction field over this barrier — explaining why taus only appear in extreme environments (particle colliders, blazars, AGN). Tau production threshold: Model: 2*m_tau = 3539 MeV Observed: 3554 MeV Error: 0.4% Model: m_tau-m_mu = 1665 MeV Observed: 1671 MeV Error: 0.4% THE NONLINEAR MFT EQUATION (Q-ball + Coulomb): u'' = [m2 - ω² - lam4*(u/r)² + lam6*(u/r)⁴ - Z/√(r²+a²)] * u where u(r) = r*φ(r) is the radial wavefunction. Soliton condition: u(0)=0, u(∞)=0. Energy: E = ω² * Q where Q = ∫ u²(r) dr HISTORICAL NOTE: The linear toy model (existing MFT code) gives R10=206.77 exactly but R21=1.91 (target 16.82). All single-field mechanisms were tested and found to have a structural ceiling at R21~2.5. The nonlinear Q-ball equation breaks this ceiling by allowing the tau to live in the sextic-dominated nonlinear vacuum, while electron/muon remain in the linear regime. Experiments conducted and found insufficient: - k6 scaling (600x): R21_max = 2.16 - Step wall between modes: R21_max = 2.41 - EM dielectric backreaction: R21 unchanged (1.91) - Strong-coupling resonance: R21 DECREASES to 1.85 - Angular momentum modes: R21_max ~ 2 The Q-ball nonlinear equation is qualitatively different.
