Mass from Phase: A Universal Coherence Law in Chronon Field Theory

This paper proposes a universal phase coherence law governing the mass spectrum of elementary particles, grounded in the solitonic structure of Chronon Field Theory (CFT). The law asserts that all free, massive, asymptotic particles contribute to a global phase interference quantity Q, with fermions and bosons forming orthogonal sectors in complex phase space. We demonstrate that the celebrated Koide mass relation arises as an exact projection of this coherence principle under symmetric alignment, thereby elevating it from an empirical pattern to a geometric theorem. Applying the law to the known lepton and boson spectra yields coherence values that match theoretical predictions with high precision. A residual discrepancy in the bosonic sector motivates the prediction of a new light boson with mass mX≈45.68MeV, accompanied by two ultralight sterile neutrinos. These additions restore exact coherence and render the framework predictive and falsifiable. This work reframes the particle mass hierarchy as a consequence of internal phase interference among topological solitons, offering a unified explanation for mass, flavor, and field identity. The results point to new experimental directions and open the door to a coherence-based reformation of particle physics.
