PionMasses supplies RS-native constants for charged and neutral pion masses in MeV and eV, plus rung assignments on the phi-ladder and predicted electron-mass ratios. A particle physicist checking Recognition Science outputs against PDG tables would cite these values. The module is a pure definition collection that pulls numerical yardsticks from Constants and phi-forcing structure from PhiForcing.

claimThe module defines $m_{π^±} = 139.57$ MeV, $m_{π^0} = 134.98$ MeV (PDG 2024), their eV equivalents, the rung index on the phi-ladder, the binary gauge for mesons, and the predicted ratio $m_π / m_e$ together with its RS value.

background

The module sits inside the Physics domain and imports the RS time quantum τ₀ = 1 tick from Constants together with the self-similar ledger that forces φ from PhiForcing. Pion masses are expressed via the mass formula yardstick × φ^(rung − 8 + gap(Z)) on the phi-ladder, using the mesonBinaryGauge and pionRung siblings. The charged-neutral split is carried by the defectDist term inherited from the J-cost structure.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs.

why it matters in Recognition Science

PionMasses supplies the light-meson inputs required by the downstream KaonMasses module (P-014), which extends the same ladder to strange quarks. It therefore anchors the non-strange sector of the meson spectrum before the eight-tick octave and D = 3 forcing steps are applied to heavier states.
