IndisputableMonolith.StandardModel.ElectroweakMassBridge
The ElectroweakMassBridge module supplies the tree-level mass formulas for the W and Z bosons together with the Weinberg angle in the Recognition Science setting. It translates the Higgs vacuum expectation value v from the upstream HiggsEFTBridge into Standard Model electroweak parameters. Physicists verifying the low-energy limit of the RS-derived Higgs sector would reference these identities when checking unitarity bounds. The module contains only direct definitions and elementary inequalities with no non-trivial proofs.
claim$m_W^2 = g^2 v^2/4$, $m_Z^2 = (g^2 + g'^2)v^2/4$, together with the derived relations $m_W < m_Z$, $m_W/m_Z = g/√(g^2+g'^2)$, and the trigonometric identities $cos^2θ_W = g^2/(g^2+g'^2)$, $sin^2θ_W = g'^2/(g^2+g'^2)$ that follow from neutral-gauge-boson diagonalization.
background
This module sits inside the Standard Model chain that begins with the RS cost geometry in HiggsEFTBridge, where the dimensionless coordinate ε = h/v is introduced and the canonical Higgs EFT is reached. It imports the fundamental time quantum τ₀ = 1 from Constants. The module defines the squared masses mW_sq and mZ_sq directly from the gauge couplings and the Higgs vev, together with the trigonometric identities for the weak mixing angle that follow from the diagonalization of the neutral gauge boson mass matrix.
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The definitions here are imported by the HiggsEFTLowEnergyLimit master certificate and by the LongitudinalVectorScattering module that checks perturbative unitarity in W_L W_L scattering. They close the link from RS cost geometry through the canonical Higgs EFT to the concrete electroweak mass spectrum required for the high-energy cancellation arguments.
scope and limits
- Does not derive the values of the gauge couplings g and g' from Recognition Science primitives.
- Does not include loop corrections or running of parameters with energy scale.
- Does not address the Higgs mass or potential beyond the vev.
- Does not treat fermion mass generation or Yukawa couplings.
