Why do particles have the masses they have?
A particle's mass is the upkeep on a knot that repair, the step in which neighboring observers settle a disagreement, can move but never remove. The main paper derives the muon and tau masses from the electron mass to ten parts per million. Computing every other mass from that upkeep is work in progress, and one older pattern is sharp. Add the electron, muon and tau masses, divide by the square of the sum of their square roots, and you get two thirds to five decimal places, Koide's relation of 1981. One triangular face of the icosahedron, the shape of the world's basic wiring, has a response with two parts, and equal weight on the two gives exactly two thirds. Taking that response as the lepton masses, the electron and muon fix the tau inside a 72 electron-volt window centered on 1776.969027 million electron-volts. The measured tau is 1776.93 ± 0.09, 0.43 standard uncertainties away.

This answer comes from OPH, Observer Patch Holography. OPH is a rigorous, consistent and complete description of the unified, self-creating computational Universe we inhabit. Its consistency is machine-checked: the fixed point at its core is constructed explicitly, and a theory with a model contains no contradiction.
To understand OPH and check every step yourself, start with the free book Reverse Engineering Reality. It builds the theory from the ground up, and the OPH Notebook answers your questions while you read.
