#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Computation 61 -- G_2/SU(3) = S^6 and the connection to colour + generations ============================================================================== Per research/ngen_3.md section 19, candidate (b): if the modal order parameter psi is naturally G_2-equivariant rather than complex-scalar, then the choice of a unit direction tau-hat in Im(O) breaks G_2 -> SU(3) (the colour group) AND identifies 3 quaternionic sub-algebras of O containing tau-hat (the three generations). This script verifies the underlying mathematical structure: (1) G_2 acts transitively on the 6-sphere S^6 of unit vectors in Im(O) (2) The stabilizer of a unit vector is exactly SU(3) (the colour group) (3) The 6-dim orthogonal complement in Im(O) decomposes under SU(3) as 3 + 3-bar (4) The 3 quaternionic sub-algebras of O containing tau-hat (verified in Comp 57) are permuted by the residual stabilizer If these mathematical facts hold, candidate (b) gives a clean structural chain: modal sublimation picks tau-hat in Im(O), which simultaneously delivers colour, generation count, and the chiral preferred direction. This is the closest thing to a "non-retrofit" motivation for the N_gen = 3 derivation.
