#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Computation 80 -- p_1 closure attempt: SU(3)_c symmetry argument ================================================================ Pushes the p_1 closure of the Option B dynamical mechanism (Comps 76, 77, 78, 79) by examining what the structural symmetries actually allow. THE QUESTION ------------ Comp 79 left p_1 ~ 0.5207 as the one residual free parameter in the dynamical Yukawa-hierarchy mechanism, with beta = dim(SO(8)) + b_PST = 28.25 and p_2/p_3 = e both pinned structurally. Can p_1 also be pinned? THE STRUCTURAL ARGUMENT ----------------------- The substrate has the symmetry chain Spin(8) ⊃ Spin(7) ⊃ G_2 ⊃ SU(3)_c where: - Spin(8) is the rotation group of O = R^8 (acts on 8_v rep). - Spin(7) = stabilizer of a unit vector under Spin(8)'s 8_v action. - G_2 = Aut(O) = automorphisms preserving the octonion product. - SU(3)_c = G_2-stabilizer of a unit vector tau-hat in V_7 = Im(O). PST takes tau-hat ∈ V_7 as the modal-sublimation direction (P3), so the relevant unbroken symmetry on the residual direction in tau-hat^perp is SU(3)_c. THEOREM (THIS COMP'S MAIN CLAIM) ------------------------------- Under SU(3)_c symmetry, the three projections p_k = |proj_{Q_k ∩ tau-hat^perp} (residual)|^2 / |residual|^2 are EQUAL for any SU(3)_c-invariant residual direction. Proof sketch: SU(3)_c permutes the three Q_k via its Weyl group / outer S_3 action. An SU(3)_c-invariant residual direction must therefore satisfy p_1 = p_2 = p_3 by symmetry. The only SU(3)_c-invariant decomposition of |T|^2 is 1/3 to each Q_k. CONSEQUENCE ----------- Comp 77's empirically-fit (p_1, p_2, p_3) ~ (0.52, 0.35, 0.13) is NOT SU(3)_c-invariant. Either: (A) SU(3)_c is broken by something not yet accounted for, OR (B) the residual direction is genuinely NOT structural -- it lives in the T(C)-contingent layer flagged by S sec:yukawa-scope. For (A) to work, the breaking mechanism must not break the COLOR SU(3)_c gauge symmetry (which would be catastrophic at the SM level). This is structurally tight: PST's SU(3)_c = M_3(C) factor of A_F is gauged in the SM (Comp 6), so breaking SU(3)_c at the residual-direction level would back-propagate to break color confinement. CONCLUSION ---------- The p_1 closure under naturally-symmetric structural arguments FAILS. The Yukawa hierarchy must come from T(C)-contingent breaking, not structural breaking. This is the structural-scope theorem of S sec:yukawa-scope re-derived from the SU(3)_c symmetry perspective. VERIFICATION ------------ Numerical check: for SU(3)_c-symmetric residual directions (p_1 = p_2 = p_3 = 1/3), the Boltzmann mechanism gives EQUAL Yukawas, NOT a hierarchy.
