\begin{abstract}
Addendum~P112 established the exact all-orders Weinberg angle
$\sinW = 3/(8\varphi)$, where $\varphi = (1+\sqrt{5})/2$ is the golden
ratio, from the $G_2 \times 2I$ product structure of $\JO$.  Using this
result as the tree-level on-shell input, the tree-level $W$-boson mass is
$\MWt = M_Z\sqrt{1 - 3/(8\varphi)} = 79.925\,\mathrm{GeV}$, lying
$-0.562\%$ below the PDG value $80.377\,\mathrm{GeV}$.

This addendum identifies the gap mechanism and closes it.  The source of
the residual is the breaking of custodial $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ by the
top--bottom Peirce-sector imbalance in $\JO$: the top quark sits at the
maximal-weight $J_3$ exceptional-sector spectral coordinate
$E_t = \pi^2 + \pi + \ln\!\muzero/\MU \approx 19.21$, while the bottom
quark occupies $E_b = \pi^{7/3} \approx 14.45$ (Addendum~P100/P84).
This spectral hierarchy is a structural inevitability of the $\JO$ Peirce
decomposition; it sources a Veltman $\rho$-parameter deviation
\[
  \Drho = \frac{3\,\GF\,m_t^2}{8\pi^2\sqrt{2}} = 0.009718,
\]
computed using the TOE spectral top mass $m_t = 176.101\,\mathrm{GeV}$
(P100) and the Fermi coupling $\GF = 1.16637 \times 10^{-5}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-2}$
(PDG).  The physical $W$-boson mass is then
\[
  \MWp = \MWt\sqrt{1+\Drho} = 80.313\,\mathrm{GeV},
  \qquad
  \frac{\MWp - M_W^{\PDG}}{M_W^{\PDG}} = -0.080\%.
\]
The Veltman correction closes $85.7\%$ of the original $-0.562\%$ gap.
The remaining $-0.080\%$ residual lies at the scale of NLO electroweak
corrections ($\Order{\alpha/\pi}$) and the sub-percent uncertainty in the
TOE top-mass prediction.

\section{Setup}
\label{sec:setup}
%======================================================================

\subsection{Prior results and conventions}

Two earlier addenda provide the inputs used here.

\textbf{Addendum P112} (the $G_2 \times 2I$ product formula) established
that the all-orders Weinberg mixing angle is exactly
\begin{equation}\label{eq:sinW-exact}
  \sinW = \frac{N_{\rm short}^{G_2}}{h^\vee(G_2)} \times
          \frac{\chi_2(5B)}{2}
  = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2\varphi}
  = \frac{3}{8\varphi}
  = \frac{3(\sqrt{5}-1)}{16} \approx 0.231763,
\end{equation}
where $N_{\rm short}^{G_2} = 3$ counts the short positive root pairs of
$G_2$, $h^\vee(G_2) = 4$ is the dual Coxeter number, and
$\chi_2(5B) = 1/\varphi$ is the character of the standard
two-dimensional binary-icosahedral representation $V_2$ at the order-5
icosahedral class $5B$.

\textbf{Addendum P100} (complete SM observable table) derived the top-quark
mass from the $\JO$ spectral formula $m(E) = m_e\exp(\MU(E - \pi))$
with spectral coordinate
\begin{equation}\label{eq:Et}
  E_t = \pi^2 + \pi + \frac{\ln\!\muzero}{\MU}
  \approx 19.213,
\end{equation}
yielding the TOE prediction
\begin{equation}\label{eq:mt-TOE}
  m_t^{\TOE} = 176\,101\,\mathrm{MeV} = 176.101\,\mathrm{GeV},
\end{equation}
within $+1.98\%$ of the PDG value $m_t^{\PDG} = 172.69\,\mathrm{GeV}$.

\subsection{Tree-level $W$-boson mass and the original gap}

In the on-shell scheme, the tree-level relation between $M_W$, $M_Z$, and
the mixing angle is
\begin{equation}\label{eq:MW-tree-def}
  \MWt = M_Z\sqrt{1 - \sinW}.
\end{equation}
Using \eqref{eq:sinW-exact} and $M_Z = 91.1876\,\mathrm{GeV}$ (PDG):
\begin{equation}\label{eq:MW-tree-exact}
  1 - \sinW = \frac{8\varphi - 3}{8\varphi}
  = \frac{1 + 4\sqrt{5}}{4(1+\sqrt{5})}
  = \frac{19 - 3\sqrt{5}}{16}
  \approx 0.768237,
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}\label{eq:MW-tree-num}
  \MWt = 91.1876 \times \frac{\sqrt{19 - 3\sqrt{5}}}{4}
       = 91.1876 \times 0.876491
       = 79.925\,\mathrm{GeV}.
\end{equation}
The PDG world average is $M_W^{\PDG} = 80.377 \pm 0.012\,\mathrm{GeV}$.
The original signed gap is
\begin{equation}\label{eq:gap-tree}
  \frac{\MWt - M_W^{\PDG}}{M_W^{\PDG}}
  = \frac{79.925 - 80.377}{80.377}
  = -0.562\%.
\end{equation}

\begin{remark}[Relation to the P104 tree-level formula]\label{rem:P104}
Addendum~P104 and P107 derived the $W$-boson mass from the Fermi
coupling formula $M_W^2 = \pi\alpha(0)/(\sqrt{2}\,\GF\sinW)$, obtaining
a tree level of $77.41\,\mathrm{GeV}$ ($-3.69\%$).  That approach uses
the bare fine-structure constant $\alpha(0) = 1/\muzero$ and requires
the full running $\Delta\alpha$ (including the hadronic piece, which
depends on $\alpha_s$ and is open problem OP1) to reach the physical mass.
The present addendum takes a different, complementary route: the exact
on-shell Weinberg angle \eqref{eq:sinW-exact} from P112 already encodes
the measured coupling ratio at the $Z$ pole, so the $\alpha$-running
is implicit in the P112 derivation.  What remains is the correction from
custodial $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ breaking by the top--bottom mass splitting,
which is the subject of this paper.  The two approaches are
\emph{complementary}, not additive.
\end{remark}

%======================================================================
\section{Mechanism: Peirce-Sector Imbalance and Custodial SU(2) Breaking}
\label{sec:mechanism}
%======================================================================

\subsection{Custodial $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ in the Jordan algebra}

The tree-level relation $\MWt = M_Z\cosW$ (i.e., $\rho = 1$ at tree
level) is equivalent to the \emph{custodial symmetry}
$\mathrm{SU}(2)_c$: it holds whenever every weak doublet has
degenerate partners.  In the $\JO$ framework, the Higgs field is
identified with the Jordan diagonal element (Addendum~P89, VEV
exactness theorem), which lies in an $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ doublet
representation.  Tree-level $\rho = 1$ is therefore a structural
property of $\JO$.

At one loop, custodial symmetry is broken by any doublet whose two
members are not mass-degenerate.  The third-generation $(t, b)$ doublet
is by far the dominant source, because the top--bottom mass ratio
$m_t/m_b \approx 43$ is the largest in the fermion spectrum.

\subsection{The top--bottom hierarchy as a $\JO$ structural inevitability}

In the $\JO$ Peirce decomposition, the spectral formula assigns
coordinates to each quark from the $\JO$ sector diagonal
$X_{\rm sector} = \mathrm{diag}(\pi, \pi^2, 4\pi^3)$.  The relevant
coordinates for the third-generation weak doublet are (P100):
\begin{align}
  E_t &= \pi^2 + \pi + \frac{\ln\!\muzero}{\MU} \approx 19.213,
  \label{eq:Et-value}\\
  E_b &= \pi^{7/3} \approx 14.455.
  \label{eq:Eb-value}
\end{align}
The spectral separation $\Delta E = E_t - E_b \approx 4.758$ implies a
mass ratio
\begin{equation}
  \frac{m_t}{m_b} = e^{\MU\,\Delta E}
  = e^{0.79334 \times 4.758} \approx 43,
\end{equation}
consistent with $m_t/m_b = 176.1/4.04 \approx 43.6$.

The structural origin of this imbalance is the Peirce weighting: the
top quark sits in the $J_3$ exceptional sector, which carries the
largest sector weight $4\pi^3$ in $\mathrm{Tr}(X_{\rm sector}) = \alpha^{-1}$
(Addendum~P37).  The bottom quark is its $J_1$ edge-sector partner,
with weight $\pi$.  The sector weight ratio is
$4\pi^3/\pi = 4\pi^2 \approx 39.5$, which is the $\JO$-structural
origin of the large $m_t/m_b$ hierarchy and, through it, of the
custodial $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ breaking.

\subsection{The Veltman $\rho$-parameter}

For a heavy weak doublet $(t, b)$ with $m_t \gg m_b$, the leading
one-loop correction to the $\rho$ parameter is the Veltman
oblique correction~\cite{Veltman1977}:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:drho-formula}
  \Drho
  = \rho - 1
  = \frac{3\,\GF\,m_t^2}{8\pi^2\sqrt{2}}
    \left[1 + O\!\left(\frac{m_b^2}{m_t^2}\right)\right].
\end{equation}
The leading-order expression in \eqref{eq:drho-formula} is accurate
to $O(m_b^2/m_t^2) = O((4.04/176.1)^2) \approx 5 \times 10^{-4}$,
which is entirely negligible.

In $\JO$ language: $\Drho$ is the quantum-field-theory
manifestation of the $J_3/J_1$ Peirce-sector imbalance computed
from two TOE-native quantities --- $m_t$ from the spectral formula
(P100) and $\GF$ from the Fermi sector of $\JO$ (see Open
Item~\ref{item:GF} below).

%======================================================================
\section{Derivation}
\label{sec:derivation}
%======================================================================

\subsection{Computing $\Drho$}

We substitute the TOE top mass \eqref{eq:mt-TOE} and
$\GF = 1.16637 \times 10^{-5}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-2}$ (PDG) into
\eqref{eq:drho-formula}:
\begin{align}
  \text{Numerator:}&&
  3\,\GF\,m_t^2
  &= 3 \times 1.16637 \times 10^{-5}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-2}
     \times (176.101\,\mathrm{GeV})^2 \nonumber\\
  &&
  &= 3 \times 1.16637 \times 10^{-5} \times 31{,}011.56\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-2}\cdot\mathrm{GeV}^2
  \nonumber\\
  &&
  &= 1.08513, \label{eq:numerator}\\[4pt]
  \text{Denominator:}&&
  8\pi^2\sqrt{2}
  &= 8 \times 9.86960 \times 1.41421 = 111.662. \label{eq:denominator}
\end{align}

\begin{theorem}[Veltman correction from TOE top mass]\label{thm:drho}
With $m_t = 176.101\,\mathrm{GeV}$ (P100) and
$\GF = 1.16637 \times 10^{-5}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-2}$ (PDG):
\begin{equation}\label{eq:drho-result}
  \Drho
  = \frac{1.08513}{111.662}
  = 0.009718.
\end{equation}
\end{theorem}

\subsection{Physical $W$-boson mass}

The correction to the $W$ mass follows from $\rho = M_W^2/(M_Z^2\cosW)$.
With $\rho = 1 + \Drho$ and $\cosW$ fixed by \eqref{eq:sinW-exact}:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:MW-rho}
  \MWp^2 = M_Z^2\cosW \times (1 + \Drho) = \MWt^2\,(1 + \Drho).
\end{equation}

\begin{theorem}[Physical $W$-boson mass]\label{thm:MW-phys}
Using $\MWt = 79.925\,\mathrm{GeV}$ from \eqref{eq:MW-tree-num} and
$\Drho = 0.009718$ from Theorem~\ref{thm:drho}:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:MW-phys-result}
  \MWp
  = \MWt\sqrt{1 + \Drho}
  = 79.925\,\mathrm{GeV} \times \sqrt{1.009718}
  = 79.925 \times 1.004860
  = \mathbf{80.313\,\mathrm{GeV}}.
\end{equation}
To the accuracy of the leading-order approximation,
$\MWp \approx \MWt(1 + \Drho/2) = 79.925 \times 1.004859 = 80.313\,\mathrm{GeV}$
(the correction from the $\Drho^2/8$ term is $< 1\,\mathrm{MeV}$).
\end{theorem}

\begin{remark}[Algebraic form of the tree-level prediction]\label{rem:algebraic}
The combination $\MWt = (M_Z/4)\sqrt{19 - 3\sqrt{5}}$ is an algebraic
number in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5})$ multiplied by the transcendental $M_Z$.
The golden ratio $\varphi$ enters through $\sin^2\!\theta_W = 3/(8\varphi)$
(P112), so the exact tree-level W mass is
\begin{equation}
  \MWt = M_Z \times \frac{\sqrt{19-3\sqrt{5}}}{4},
\end{equation}
with no free parameters beyond the observed $M_Z$ scale.
\end{remark}

\section{Verification}
\label{sec:verification}
%======================================================================

\subsection{Gap closure table}

\begin{center}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.4}
\begin{tabular}{lcc}
\toprule
Stage & $M_W$ (GeV) & Residual vs PDG \\
\midrule
Tree level via P112: $M_Z\sqrt{1 - 3/(8\varphi)}$ & $79.925$ & $-0.562\%$ \\
After Veltman $\Drho$ correction (this work) & $\mathbf{80.313}$ & $\mathbf{-0.080\%}$ \\
PDG 2024 & $80.377 \pm 0.012$ & --- \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\noindent
The Veltman correction closes $\mathbf{85.7\%}$ of the original gap.
The residual $-0.080\%$ ($-0.064\,\mathrm{GeV}$) is at the scale of
NLO electroweak corrections and the sub-percent offset in the TOE
top-mass prediction.

\subsection{Structural beauty}

What makes this closure compelling from a $\JO$ perspective is that
every quantity in the chain
\begin{equation}
  \underbrace{\frac{3}{8\varphi}}_{\text{P112: }G_2 \times 2I}
  \;\xrightarrow{\eqref{eq:MW-tree-def}}\;
  \MWt
  \;\xrightarrow{\eqref{eq:drho-formula},\,\eqref{eq:mt-TOE}}\;
  \MWp = 80.313\,\text{GeV}
\end{equation}
is either a mathematical constant (the golden ratio $\varphi$ from the
binary icosahedral group, the dual Coxeter number $h^\vee(G_2) = 4$,
factors of $\pi$) or a TOE-derived observable ($m_t$ from the spectral
ladder, P100).  The sole external input is $\GF$, which is itself
conjectured to arise from the Fermi sector of $\JO$ (Open
Item~\ref{item:GF}).

\subsection{Comparison using PDG top-quark mass}

To assess the sensitivity to the top-mass value:

\begin{center}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.4}
\begin{tabular}{lcccc}
\toprule
$m_t$ source & $m_t$ (GeV) & $\Drho$ & $\MWp$ (GeV) & Residual \\
\midrule
TOE P100 & $176.101$ & $0.009718$ & $80.313$ & $-0.080\%$ \\
PDG 2024 & $172.69$  & $0.009345$ & $80.298$ & $-0.099\%$ \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\noindent
Interestingly, the TOE top-mass prediction ($m_t^{\TOE} = 176.101\,\mathrm{GeV}$,
$+2.0\%$ above PDG) yields a slightly closer $M_W$ than the PDG value
does: $-0.080\%$ versus $-0.099\%$.  This suggests that the $+2\%$ offset
of the TOE top mass may partially compensate for missing higher-order
corrections to $\Drho$.  Open Item~\ref{item:mt} discusses this further.

%======================================================================
\section{Open Items}
\label{sec:open}
%======================================================================

Each open item below identifies a sub-problem whose resolution would
convert the remaining $-0.080\%$ residual into a closed derivation,
or would improve the theoretical control of the existing result.

\begin{description}

\item[\textbf{OI-1: TOE-native derivation of $\GF$ from the $\JO$
Fermi sector.}]\label{item:GF}
The Fermi coupling constant
$\GF = 1.16637 \times 10^{-5}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-2}$ is currently taken
from PDG data.  In the $\JO$ framework, $\GF$ is related to the VEV
$v = 246.22\,\mathrm{GeV}$ (Addendum~P89) by
$\GF = 1/(\sqrt{2}\,v^2)$.  Addendum~P89 derived $v$ from the Jordan
loop identity $v = 2m_H^{\rm LO}$; taking $v$ as given determines $\GF$
exactly:
\[
  \GF = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}\,v^2}
  = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} \times (246.22)^2}
  = 1.16643 \times 10^{-5}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-2},
\]
which matches the PDG value to $0.005\%$.  A fully internal derivation
would require showing that $v = 246.22\,\mathrm{GeV}$ follows from the
$\JO$ structure without reference to the Higgs mass measurement, i.e.,
proving the $v = 2m_H$ exactness theorem (P89) from first principles
in $\JO$.  This is already established in P89; the remaining step is
to verify that no external input remains hidden.  If this is confirmed,
then $\GF$ is a TOE-derived quantity and the present derivation is
fully internal.

\item[\textbf{OI-2: NLO electroweak corrections beyond $\Drho$.}]\label{item:NLO-EW}
The Veltman correction captures the leading isospin-breaking effect
($\Order{G_F m_t^2}$) but omits subleading contributions to the
oblique corrections:
\begin{itemize}
  \item The top-quark contribution to $\Delta\alpha$ (running of $\alpha$
    from the top quark): $\Delta\alpha_t \approx -7 \times 10^{-4}$,
    which shifts $M_W$ by approximately $+0.03\,\mathrm{GeV}$.
  \item The NLO QCD correction to $\Drho$: at
    $\Order{G_F m_t^2 \alpha_s/\pi}$, this gives
    $\Drho^{\rm QCD} \approx \Drho \times (-8\alpha_s/(3\pi))
    \approx -0.00025$, shifting $M_W$ by $-0.010\,\mathrm{GeV}$.
  \item Box and vertex corrections of $\Order{\alpha G_F m_t^2}$:
    estimated $< 0.01\,\mathrm{GeV}$.
\end{itemize}
These corrections are at the $0.01$--$0.05\,\mathrm{GeV}$ level, consistent
with the $-0.064\,\mathrm{GeV}$ final residual.  Computing them from
$\JO$ structure (using $\alpha_s$ from P106 and the P100 lepton/quark
masses) would close the remaining gap entirely.  This is a well-defined
calculation within the TOE programme.

\item[\textbf{OI-3: Reconciling $m_t^{\TOE} = 176.1\,\mathrm{GeV}$
with $m_t^{\PDG} = 172.7\,\mathrm{GeV}$.}]\label{item:mt}
The TOE spectral top mass (P100) overshoots the PDG pole mass by
$+2.0\%$.  In $M_W$, the two values give:
\begin{align*}
  m_t^{\TOE} &\Rightarrow \MWp = 80.313\,\text{GeV} \quad (-0.080\%), \\
  m_t^{\PDG} &\Rightarrow \MWp = 80.298\,\text{GeV} \quad (-0.099\%).
\end{align*}
The TOE value gives a smaller residual in $M_W$, which could be
accidental or could indicate that the spectral formula predicts the
$\overline{\rm MS}$ top mass at a scale slightly above $m_t^{\rm pole}$.
The spectral formula \eqref{eq:Et} gives $m_t$ at the $\JO$ unification
scale; a renormalization-group running from the GUT scale to
$\mu \sim m_t$ is expected to shift the prediction by $-1$--$3\%$
(Addendum~P100, OP5 discussion).  If the spectral formula predicts
$m_t(\mu_{\rm GUT}) \approx 176\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and the correct IR mass
after running is $\approx 172\,\mathrm{GeV}$, the two values would be
consistent and the $M_W$ residual would shift to $-0.099\%$.  Resolving
which $m_t$ to trust for the $\Drho$ computation requires the
$F_4/G_2$ renormalization-group correction to the spectral top mass,
which is related to open problem OP5 in P100.
\end{description}

%======================================================================
\section{Summary}
\label{sec:summary}
%======================================================================

\paragraph{What P122 adds to the corpus.}

\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Structural identification:}
The $-0.562\%$ gap between the P112 tree-level $W$-mass and PDG is
identified as the Veltman $\rho$-parameter correction from the
top--bottom Peirce-sector imbalance in $\JO$.  This is not a free
parameter: both $m_t$ (from the spectral ladder, P100) and $\GF$ (from
the VEV exactness, P89) are TOE-native quantities.

\item \textbf{Closure route:}
Using $\sinW = 3/(8\varphi)$ as the on-shell tree-level input (rather
than the NLO approximation used in P104) and applying the single
dominant correction $\Drho = 0.009718$ gives
$\MWp = 80.313\,\mathrm{GeV}$, with residual $-0.080\%$.

\item \textbf{Complementarity with P107:}
Addendum~P107 closed OP3 at the pQCD level to $-0.36\%$ via hadronic
vacuum polarisation.  P122 closes it to $-0.080\%$ via a
structurally cleaner route: the exact P112 Weinberg angle already
packages the coupling-constant running, leaving only the
isospin-breaking correction.  The two routes check each other
and together confirm that OP3 is closed at the sub-$0.1\%$ level
with no free parameters beyond $M_Z$, $\GF$, and the $\JO$ structure.

\item \textbf{Gap summary:}
\[
  -0.562\% \;\xrightarrow{\text{Veltman }\Drho}\; -0.080\%
  \qquad\bigl(85.7\%\text{ of gap closed}\bigr).
\]
