A 12 GeV Dark Matter Candidate from the Information Sector of a G2 Framework

Dark matter constitutes about 85% of the matter in the universe, yet its particle identity and mass are unknown, with candidates spanning many orders of magnitude. We report that the G2 algebraic framework of prior work contains a natural dark-matter candidate with a definite mass. Applying the framework's mass formula to the information sector — the holographic sector that carries no Standard Model gauge charge — gives m_DM = v × (1/42) × Q/HM = 246 × (1/42) × 100/48 = 12.2 GeV, where v is the electroweak scale, 1/42 the structural suppression parameter, and Q/HM a ratio of operator values. This places the candidate at index n = 1 in the same formula that fixes the Standard Model fermion masses, and the value agrees to 1.7% with an independent estimate of the information-sector scale (12.0 GeV). The candidate is a light WIMP near 12 GeV, naturally weakly coupled because the information sector communicates with ordinary matter only through the holographic boundary. We present the mass as the clean, falsifiable result — directly testable by low-threshold direct-detection experiments — and state plainly that the detailed couplings (the direct-detection cross-section and the relic abundance) require a holographic suppression factor that the framework does not yet fix.
