Infinite-Dimensional
Wave Theory
One field in infinitely many spatial directions plus time. Every particle is a pattern of that field, and the particle families differ in how many directions their patterns are bound in.
Overview
Infinite-Dimensional Wave Theory starts from a space with infinitely many ordinary spatial directions, all of the same kind as the three we see, plus time. One field fills that space, and every particle is a stable pattern of it. A pattern is bound in a fixed number of directions, its depth, and is free in all the others. Matter is bound in at most ten.
Within its depth , a pattern sits at a whole-number level . Its mass is the scale shared by that depth times the number of points in a simplex with points along each edge in directions:
With the electron mass as its single measured input, this rule gives the W, Z and Higgs bosons, five quarks, the muon and the tau. Nine of these ten masses fall within one percent of measurement, and the top quark within 2.2 percent.
| Depth | Particles |
|---|---|
| 2 | Photon, W, Z and Higgs bosons |
| 3 | Down, strange and bottom quarks |
| 4 | Up, charm and top quarks |
| 5 | The three neutrinos |
| 6 | Electron and muon |
| 10 | Tau |
The electron orbits the nucleus through four spatial directions at a fixed distance, so each shell is a three-sphere. The angular patterns on that shell give capacities of 2, 8, 18 and 32 electrons, and their subshell content matches every one of the seven periods of the periodic table.
The levels connect the families. Each charged lepton’s level is a quark level plus a neutrino level: electron 13 = up 3 + neutrino 10, muon 35 = charm 20 + neutrino 15, and tau 23 = down 1 + neutrino 22.
The depth-five counts fix the neutrino masses at 1.53, 8.90 and 50.4 meV in normal order. Their sum, 60.8 meV, lies below the current cosmological bound.

The Case for Investigating IDWT · Updated 10 November 2026
From Particle Masses to Shared Geometry
The complete argument in one document. It derives the mass rule and the depths it implies, compares each predicted mass with measurement, and follows the same geometry into color, charge and polarization. Every result comes with the equations needed to reproduce it.
