abstract

We identify two commensurate structures in the measured quark and lepton mixing data, one multiplicative and one angular, and their exact relation. With the hierarchy parameter $\varepsilon\equiv|V_{ub}|^{3/10}=0.1869\pm0.0018$, the measured Fritzsch--Xing (FX) angles satisfy $\sin\theta_u=\varepsilon^{26/18}$, $\sin\theta_d=\varepsilon^{17/18}$, and $\sin\theta=\varepsilon^{34/18}$ with coefficients within $2.5\%$ of unity, and the phase is maximal, $\phi_{\rm FX}=92.3^\circ\pm2.7^\circ$ against $\pi/2$. Unit coefficients reproduce the remaining moduli at the percent level and fix the derived Jarlskog invariant, $J=\varepsilon^{111/18}\sin\phi_{\rm FX}$, matching the measured $3.08(14)\times10^{-5}$. The rephasing-invariant image of this structure is a unitarity triangle quantized on the $\pi/24$ lattice, a digital clock, $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)=(12,3,9)\times7.5^\circ$, consistent with data at $1\sigma$ through $\alpha\simeq\phi_{\rm FX}$ and the theorem $\tan\beta\simeq\sqrt{\varepsilon}$; degree-level $\gamma$ confronts $67.5^\circ$--$68^\circ$. For the leptons, where only the angular structure can act, its PMNS analog, formed from columns $1$ and $3$, free of Majorana phases, on the same lattice requires $\delta_{\rm CP}\simeq296^\circ$ in the upper octant or $244^\circ$ in the lower, testable at DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande. The quark and lepton triangles share $\beta=22.5^\circ$, measured for quarks, predicted for leptons, and differ by a transfer of two lattice units, with corollary $\delta_{\rm CP}\simeq-\delta\simeq295^\circ$. The same $\varepsilon$ sets the neutrino mass ratio, $r\equiv m_2/m_3=\varepsilon^{19/18}$, and the PMNS first row follows in powers of $r$, $(r^{1/9},\,r^{1/3},\,\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}r)$, both relations at $0.2\sigma$ and testable at JUNO. The analysis is confined to the parameterization level; no dynamics is assumed.
