Mass as an Emergence of Coherence: a PAC Reading
This work applies the Principle of Absolute Coherence (PAC) to the problem of particle masses. In conventional physics, masses are free parameters: relativity equates mass and energy, and the Standard Model generates masses via the Higgs field, but the numerical values remain inputs. Under PAC, mass emerges naturally from the Compton wavelength, m=hλCc.m=λCch. Using CODATA data for the electron, proton, and muon, we reproduce the correct mass values without fitting or circular assumptions. PAC thus transforms mass from an arbitrary parameter into a measurable consequence of wave–particle coherence.
