We discuss the eigenvalue problem for 3x3 octonionic Hermitian matrices which is relevant to the Jordan formulation of quantum mechanics. In contrast to the eigenvalue problems considered in our previous work, all eigenvalues are real and solve the usual characteristic equation. We give an elementary construction of the corresponding eigenmatrices, and we further speculate on a possible application to particle physics.

  1. Fermion Mass Hierarchies and the Exceptional Jordan Algebra

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Phenomenological deformation of an exceptional-Jordan framework that fits hierarchy exponent and normalizations to six charged-fermion mass ratios at MZ, yielding power-law relations while accommodating neutrino orderings.

  2. The Residual $288$ of the $E_8\times\omega E_8$ Program as Adjoint-Lineage Scaffolding Labels: an Ontology, and the Status of the Bifermionic Lagrangian

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    The residual 288 in the E₈×ωE₈ program is scaffolding labels not particles, with the bifermionic Lagrangian yielding sterile neutrinos and a second composite scalar.
