plain-language theorem explainer

The definition supplies the W to Z boson mass ratio as the quotient of their masses in the reals. Electroweak model builders cite it when matching RS predictions to the observed value near 0.881. It is introduced by a direct division with no further reduction.

Claim. The W/Z mass ratio is defined by $m_W / m_Z$, where $m_W$ and $m_Z$ are the masses of the W and Z gauge bosons.

background

In module SM-003 the W/Z mass ratio is extracted from Recognition Science's φ-structure. The bosons carry masses near 80.4 GeV and 91.2 GeV; their ratio equals cos(θ_W) by definition of the Weinberg angle. Upstream, RSNativeUnits.Mass is an alias for the reals, while GaugeBosonMassesFromRS supplies the companion expression 6/(3 + φ) under φ-quantization of the gauge sector.

proof idea

The declaration is a one-line definition that forms the ratio by dividing the W mass by the Z mass.

why it matters

This definition anchors the electroweak ratio inside the Recognition framework and supplies the input to GaugeBosonMassCert, which records positivity, the inequality greater than one, and the sin²θ_W band (0.228, 0.232). It also populates the WZBosonRatioScoreCard bracket (0.87, 0.89) and the mass hierarchy statements in ThreeGenerations. The construction sits at the T5–T8 segment of the forcing chain, where φ fixes the self-similar scale and D = 3 emerges.
