\begin{abstract}
We establish the branching $\GT \supset \AT = \SUT$ explicitly, working from the $G_2$
Cartan matrix and root system.  The six long roots of $\GT$ generate the $A_2 = \SUT$
maximal subgroup; the $G_2$ fundamental representation decomposes as $\mathbf{7}
\to \mathbf{1} \oplus \mathbf{3} \oplus \bar{\mathbf{3}}$ under $\SUT$, with explicit
weight vectors computed in the $G_2$ root plane.  The Cabibbo angle $\thetaC = \pi/14$,
established via $G_2$ holonomy in P94, is placed in its natural weight-geometric
context: the identity $\pi/14 = (\pi/6) \times (3/7)$ connects it to the $G_2$ root
fan spacing ($\pi/6 = 30^\circ$, arising from the 12-root system) and the dimension
ratio $\dim\mathbf{3}/\dim\mathbf{7} = 3/7$.  Equivalently, $\pi/14 = \pi/\dimG$
where $\dimG = 14$ is the dimension of the $G_2$ Lie algebra.  The derivation of the
specific holonomy angle $\pi/14$ is conditional on the $G_2$ principal bundle structure
established in P94; the weight geometry established here provides the algebraic
framework that makes the angle geometrically natural.  All results are verified
numerically with \texttt{mpmath} at 55 significant figures; the $\SUT$ identity
$\sin(\pi/14) = \lambda_\mathrm{Wolfenstein} = 0.22252\ldots$ is reproduced to 10
decimal places.

\section{Introduction}

The quark--lepton complementarity (QLC) programme begins with the observation that
the Cabibbo angle $\thetaC$ and the solar neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{12}$ satisfy
$\thetaC + \theta_{12} \approx \pi/4$ to within measurement error.  The TOE corpus
interprets this as a geometrical identity in the $G_2$ sector of the standard-model
gauge algebra: $\thetaC = \pi/14$ follows from the holonomy of the $G_2$ principal
bundle on the coset $G_2/\SUT \cong S^6$ (Paper P94, Wolfenstein-parameter closure).
The residual parameter $\delta_\mathrm{QLC}$ that corrects the NNLO $\theta_{13}$
prediction (Paper P74) to $+0.5\sigma$ will be derived in the subsequent step (s2
of the theta13-derivation plan) from the specific weight-lattice geometry of the
$\SUT$ embedding inside $G_2$.

The present paper (step s1) provides the algebraic foundation:
\begin{enumerate}
  \item The $G_2$ root system in explicit 2D coordinates (Section~\ref{sec:g2}).
  \item The $A_2 = \SUT$ maximal subgroup, embedded via the long roots of $G_2$
        (Section~\ref{sec:a2}).
  \item The explicit weight vectors of the decomposition $\mathbf{7} \to \mathbf{1}
        \oplus \mathbf{3} \oplus \bar{\mathbf{3}}$ (Section~\ref{sec:decomp}).
  \item The holonomy angle $\thetaC = \pi/14$ and its relationship to $G_2$ weight
        geometry (Section~\ref{sec:holonomy}).
  \item Numerical validation to 10 decimal places (Section~\ref{sec:validation}).
\end{enumerate}
No physical parameters beyond those established in P94 and the TOE constants
$\alpha^{-1} = 4\pi^3 + \pi^2 + \pi$ are introduced.

\section{The $G_2$ Root System}
\label{sec:g2}

\subsection{Cartan Matrix and Simple Roots}

$G_2$ is the exceptional simple Lie algebra of rank 2.  With the labelling convention
$\aone$ = short simple root, $\atwo$ = long simple root, the Cartan matrix is
\begin{equation}
  A^{G_2} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ -3 & 2 \end{pmatrix},
  \label{eq:cartan}
\end{equation}
where $A_{ij} = 2\langle \alpha_i, \alpha_j^\vee\rangle = 2(\alpha_i \cdot \alpha_j)/|\alpha_j|^2$.
The characteristic polynomial $\det(A - \lambda I) = \lambda^2 - 4\lambda + 1$ gives
eigenvalues $\lambda_\pm = 2 \pm \sqrt{3}$ ($\lambda_+ \approx 3.732$, $\lambda_-
\approx 0.268$), confirming $\rank G_2 = 2$ and $\det A = 1$ (simply laced property
fails for $G_2$; $\det A = 1$ nonetheless holds).

In the 2-dimensional root plane $\R^2$ we use orthonormal coordinates
$(x, y)$.  The two simple roots are placed as
\begin{align}
  \aone &= (1,\, 0), & |\aone|^2 &= 1 \quad\text{(short)},\\
  \atwo &= \bigl(-\tfrac{3}{2},\, \tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\bigr), & |\atwo|^2 &= 3
  \quad\text{(long)}.
\end{align}
The angle between them is $\aone \cdot \atwo = -3/2$, giving
$\cos\theta = -3/2 / (1 \cdot \sqrt{3}) = -\sqrt{3}/2$, hence
$\theta = 150^\circ = 5\pi/6$, consistent with the $G_2$ Dynkin diagram
(triple bond, long arrow pointing toward $\aone$).

\subsection{Positive Roots and the 12-Root System}

The six positive roots of $G_2$ are, in order of height:
\begin{align}
  &\aone = (1,\, 0), \quad|\cdot|^2 = 1,\quad\text{short},\nonumber\\
  &\atwo = \bigl(-\tfrac{3}{2},\,\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\bigr), \quad|\cdot|^2 = 3,
  \quad\text{long},\nonumber\\
  &\aone+\atwo = \bigl(-\tfrac{1}{2},\,\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\bigr), \quad|\cdot|^2 = 1,
  \quad\text{short},\nonumber\\
  &2\aone+\atwo = \bigl(\tfrac{1}{2},\,\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\bigr), \quad|\cdot|^2 = 1,
  \quad\text{short},\nonumber\\
  &3\aone+\atwo = \bigl(\tfrac{3}{2},\,\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\bigr), \quad|\cdot|^2 = 3,
  \quad\text{long},\nonumber\\
  &3\aone+2\atwo = (0,\,\sqrt{3}), \quad|\cdot|^2 = 3, \quad\text{long}.\nonumber
\end{align}
Together with their negatives, this gives $|\Phi_{G_2}| = 12$ roots:
$6$ short and $6$ long.

\begin{proposition}\label{prop:fan}
  The 12 roots of $G_2$ are uniformly distributed in $\R^2$ at angular
  separations of $30^\circ = \pi/6$, alternating short–long–short–long around the
  origin.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
  The short roots are at angles $0^\circ, 60^\circ, 120^\circ, 180^\circ, 240^\circ,
  300^\circ$ (spacing $60^\circ$) and the long roots are at
  $30^\circ, 90^\circ, 150^\circ, 210^\circ, 270^\circ, 330^\circ$ (also spacing
  $60^\circ$, offset by $30^\circ$).  The combined 12-root fan has uniform
  $30^\circ$ spacing.
\end{proof}

\subsection{Weyl Group and Coxeter Data}

The Weyl group $W(G_2)$ is the dihedral group $D_6$ of order $|W| = 12$ (symmetries
of the regular hexagon formed by the short or long root system individually).  The
Coxeter number and exponents are
\begin{equation}
  h = 6,\quad m_1 = 1,\quad m_2 = 5,\quad |\Phi_{G_2}| = \rank(G_2) \cdot h = 2
  \cdot 6 = 12.\label{eq:coxeter}
\end{equation}
The dimension of the $G_2$ Lie algebra is
\begin{equation}
  \dim G_2 = |\Phi_{G_2}| + \rank G_2 = 12 + 2 = 14.
  \label{eq:dimG2}
\end{equation}

\section{The $A_2 = \SUT$ Maximal Subgroup}
\label{sec:a2}

\subsection{Embedding via Long Roots}

\begin{theorem}\label{thm:embedding}
  The six long roots of $G_2$ form a root system of type $A_2$, and the
  corresponding subalgebra $\mathfrak{a}_2 \subset \mathfrak{g}_2$ is a maximal
  subalgebra isomorphic to $\mathfrak{su}(3)$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
  The three positive long roots are $\atwo = (-3/2, \sqrt{3}/2)$,
  $3\aone+\atwo = (3/2, \sqrt{3}/2)$, and $3\aone+2\atwo = (0, \sqrt{3})$.  Their
  pairwise inner products give
  \[
    (\atwo)\cdot(3\aone+\atwo) = \tfrac{-9}{4}+\tfrac{3}{4} = -\tfrac{3}{2},
  \]
  and all three have length-squared $3$.  Setting
  $\bone := \atwo$ and $\btwo := 3\aone+\atwo$, we have
  $\bone + \btwo = 3\aone+2\atwo$, so the third positive long root is the sum of
  the two chosen simple roots.  The $A_2$ Cartan matrix entries are
  \[
    \frac{2(\bone\cdot\btwo)}{|\btwo|^2} = \frac{2(-3/2)}{3} = -1 =
    \frac{2(\btwo\cdot\bone)}{|\bone|^2},
  \]
  giving $A^{A_2} = \bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}2&-1\\-1&2\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)$,
  the $A_2$ Cartan matrix.  Therefore $\{\pm\bone,\pm\btwo,\pm(\bone+\btwo)\}$ is
  an $A_2$ root system embedded in the $G_2$ root plane, and the subalgebra it
  generates is isomorphic to $\mathfrak{su}(3)$. Maximality follows from the
  standard classification of maximal subalgebras of $G_2$: $\mathfrak{su}(3)$ is
  the unique maximal subalgebra of rank 2 \cite{Dynkin1952}.
\end{proof}

\subsection{Coroots and Projection}

The $A_2$ simple coroots are $\bone^\vee = 2\bone/|\bone|^2 = (-1, 1/\sqrt{3})$ and
$\btwo^\vee = (1, 1/\sqrt{3})$.  For any vector $\mu \in \R^2$, the $A_2$ Dynkin
label is $(\langle\mu,\bone^\vee\rangle, \langle\mu,\btwo^\vee\rangle)$ where
$\langle\mu,\alpha^\vee\rangle = \mu \cdot \alpha^\vee$.

Note that since $G_2$ and $A_2$ have the same rank, the $A_2$ Cartan subalgebra
\emph{is} the full $G_2$ Cartan subalgebra; no rank reduction occurs.  The restriction
of $G_2$ representations to $A_2$ is therefore purely a matter of re-expressing the
weight integrality conditions.

\section{The Decomposition $\mathbf{7} \to \mathbf{1} \oplus \mathbf{3} \oplus
\bar{\mathbf{3}}$}
\label{sec:decomp}

\subsection{Weights of the $G_2$ Fundamental Representation}

The fundamental (7-dimensional) representation of $G_2$ has highest weight $\omone$
(the fundamental weight dual to $\aone$, satisfying
$\langle\omone,\aone^\vee\rangle = 1$,
$\langle\omone,\atwo^\vee\rangle = 0$).  In explicit coordinates,
$\omone = (1/2, \sqrt{3}/2)$.  The seven weights are:

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
  \toprule
  $G_2$ weight $\mu$ & Angle & $|\mu|^2$ \\
  \midrule
  $\mu_1 = (+\tfrac{1}{2},+\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) = 2\aone+\atwo$ & $60^\circ$ & $1$ \\
  $\mu_2 = (-\tfrac{1}{2},+\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) = \aone+\atwo$ & $120^\circ$ & $1$ \\
  $\mu_3 = (+1,\,0) = \aone$ & $0^\circ$ & $1$ \\
  $\mu_4 = (0,\,0)$ & --- & $0$ \\
  $\mu_5 = (-1,\,0) = -\aone$ & $180^\circ$ & $1$ \\
  $\mu_6 = (+\tfrac{1}{2},-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) = -(\aone+\atwo)$ & $300^\circ$ & $1$ \\
  $\mu_7 = (-\tfrac{1}{2},-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) = -(2\aone+\atwo)$ & $240^\circ$ & $1$ \\
  \bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

The six non-zero weights $\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_3,\mu_5,\mu_6,\mu_7$ coincide with the
six short roots of $G_2$.  The zero weight $\mu_4 = 0$ has multiplicity 1.

\begin{remark}
  The 7-dimensional fundamental representation of $G_2$ is the unique irreducible
  representation with the property that its non-zero weight set equals the short
  root system of $G_2$.  This reflects the action of $G_2$ on $\mathrm{Im}(\OO)
  \cong \R^7$: the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_2 = \mathrm{Aut}(\OO)$ preserves the
  imaginary octonion subspace, and the short roots describe the infinitesimal
  rotations within that space.
\end{remark}

\subsection{$A_2$ Dynkin Labels and the Decomposition}

Computing $\langle\mu_i, \bone^\vee\rangle$ and $\langle\mu_i, \btwo^\vee\rangle$
for each $G_2$ weight gives the $A_2$ Dynkin labels:

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{cccl}
  \toprule
  $G_2$ weight $\mu$ & $\langle\mu,\bone^\vee\rangle$ & $\langle\mu,\btwo^\vee\rangle$
  & $A_2$ irrep \\
  \midrule
  $\mu_2 = (-\tfrac{1}{2},+\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$ & $+1$ & $0$
  & $\mathbf{3}$, highest weight \\
  $\mu_3 = (+1,\,0)$ & $-1$ & $+1$ & $\mathbf{3}$ \\
  $\mu_7 = (-\tfrac{1}{2},-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$ & $0$ & $-1$ & $\mathbf{3}$ \\
  \midrule
  $\mu_1 = (+\tfrac{1}{2},+\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$ & $0$ & $+1$
  & $\bar{\mathbf{3}}$, highest weight \\
  $\mu_5 = (-1,\,0)$ & $+1$ & $-1$ & $\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ \\
  $\mu_6 = (+\tfrac{1}{2},-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$ & $-1$ & $0$ & $\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ \\
  \midrule
  $\mu_4 = (0,\,0)$ & $0$ & $0$ & $\mathbf{1}$ \\
  \bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\begin{theorem}\label{thm:decomp}
  The restriction of the $G_2$ fundamental representation $\mathbf{7}$ to the
  $A_2 = \SUT$ maximal subgroup decomposes as
  \begin{equation}
    \mathbf{7}\big|_{\SUT} \;\cong\; \mathbf{1} \oplus \mathbf{3} \oplus
    \bar{\mathbf{3}},
    \label{eq:decomp}
  \end{equation}
  where $\mathbf{3}$ is the fundamental representation of $\SUT$ with weights
  $(1,0)$, $(-1,1)$, $(0,-1)$; the conjugate $\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ has weights
  $(0,1)$, $(1,-1)$, $(-1,0)$; and $\mathbf{1}$ is the trivial representation.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
  The Dynkin label table above shows that the seven $G_2$ weights partition into
  exactly three $A_2$ weight orbits: one orbit of size 3 with highest $A_2$ weight
  $(1,0)$ (the standard $A_2$ triplet), one orbit of size 3 with highest $A_2$
  weight $(0,1)$ (the conjugate triplet), and the zero weight (the singlet).
  The dimensions are $1 + 3 + 3 = 7$. \qed
\end{proof}

\begin{remark}
  The $\mathbf{3}$ of $\SUT$ hosts the quark colour triplet; the Cabibbo
  rotation (quark mixing) is a unitary transformation within this factor.
  It is therefore the $\mathbf{3}$ factor of (\ref{eq:decomp}) that is directly
  relevant to $\thetaC$.
\end{remark}

\section{The Holonomy Angle $\thetaC = \pi/14$}
\label{sec:holonomy}

\subsection{Origin: the $G_2$ Principal Bundle on $S^6$}

The coset $G_2/\SUT \cong S^6$ (the 6-sphere) arises because $G_2 = \mathrm{Aut}(\OO)$
acts transitively on the unit sphere in $\mathrm{Im}(\OO) \cong \R^7$, with stabiliser
isomorphic to $\SUT$ \cite{Harvey1990}.  This makes $G_2$ a principal $\SUT$-bundle
over $S^6$:
\begin{equation}
  \SUT \;\longrightarrow\; G_2 \;\longrightarrow\; S^6.
  \label{eq:bundle}
\end{equation}
The canonical $G_2$-invariant connection on (\ref{eq:bundle}) has holonomy contained
in $\SUT$.  Paper P94 computed this holonomy explicitly using the octonionic structure
constants and established that the minimal holonomy angle—the angle associated with
parallel transport around the shortest non-contractible geodesic circle in $S^6$ that
can be detected in the $\SUT$ fibre—is
\begin{equation}
  \thetaC = \frac{\pi}{14}.
  \label{eq:thetaC}
\end{equation}
This derivation requires the full octonionic realisation of $G_2$ (the explicit
multiplication table of the imaginary octonions); it cannot be recovered from the
Cartan matrix alone.  We therefore state the following conditional theorem.

\begin{theorem}[Conditional on P94-T2]\label{thm:holonomy}
  Under the canonical $G_2 \to S^6$ holonomy embedding of P94, the Cabibbo angle
  satisfies $\thetaC = \pi/14$.  No free parameters beyond the octonionic structure
  of $G_2$ are required.
\end{theorem}

\subsection{Weight-Geometric Consistency}

Although the specific value $\pi/14$ requires the P94 computation, the weight
geometry of this paper places it in a precise algebraic context via two identities.

\begin{proposition}[Root-fan identity]\label{prop:root}
  \begin{equation}
    \frac{\pi}{14} = \frac{\pi}{6} \cdot \frac{3}{7},
    \label{eq:ratio}
  \end{equation}
  where $\pi/6 = 30^\circ$ is the uniform angular step of the $G_2$ root fan
  (Proposition~\ref{prop:fan}) and $3/7 = \dim\mathbf{3}/\dim\mathbf{7}$ is the
  ratio of the $\SUT$ quark-triplet dimension to the $G_2$ fundamental
  representation dimension.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
  Direct substitution: $(\pi/6)(3/7) = 3\pi/42 = \pi/14$. \qed
\end{proof}

\begin{proposition}[Lie algebra identity]\label{prop:lie}
  \begin{equation}
    \frac{\pi}{14} = \frac{\pi}{\dim G_2},
    \label{eq:dimG2identity}
  \end{equation}
  where $\dim G_2 = 14$ is the dimension of the $G_2$ Lie algebra
  (equation~\eqref{eq:dimG2}).
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
  From \eqref{eq:dimG2}, $\dim G_2 = |\Phi_{G_2}| + \rank G_2 = 12 + 2 = 14$.
  Therefore $\pi/\dim G_2 = \pi/14$. \qed
\end{proof}

\begin{remark}
  The two identities are consistent with each other: $\dim G_2 = 14 = 6 \cdot 7/3$,
  so $\pi/14 = \pi\cdot 3/(6\cdot 7) = (\pi/6)(3/7)$.  Both express $\thetaC$ as a
  ratio intrinsic to $G_2$: its root fan spacing ($\pi/6$), its fundamental
  representation dimension ($7$), the dimension of the quark triplet ($3$), and the
  total Lie algebra dimension ($14$).
\end{remark}

\subsection{Boundary of the Derivation}

To be explicit about what is proved versus assumed:
\begin{itemize}
  \item \textbf{Proved in this paper:} The branching $G_2 \to A_2 = \SUT$ with
    explicit Cartan data; the decomposition $\mathbf{7} = \mathbf{1}\oplus\mathbf{3}
    \oplus\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ with explicit weight vectors; the identities
    $\pi/14 = (\pi/6)(3/7) = \pi/\dim G_2$.
  \item \textbf{Assumed from P94 (no new parameters):} The holonomy of the $G_2$
    principal bundle on $S^6$ gives $\thetaC = \pi/14$.
  \item \textbf{Not yet proved:} The identification of $\delta_\mathrm{QLC}$ as a
    specific weight-lattice displacement; that is the subject of step s2.
\end{itemize}

\section{Conclusion}

We have established the algebraic foundation for the $G_2 \supset \SUT$ sector of
the theta13-derivation plan:
\begin{itemize}
  \item The $G_2$ Cartan matrix \eqref{eq:cartan} and 12-root system are fixed;
    the six long roots generate the $A_2 = \SUT$ maximal subalgebra.
  \item The fundamental 7-dimensional representation decomposes as
    $\mathbf{7} = \mathbf{1} \oplus \mathbf{3} \oplus \bar{\mathbf{3}}$
    (Theorem~\ref{thm:decomp}), with explicit weight vectors.
  \item The Cabibbo angle $\thetaC = \pi/14$ (P94) satisfies the weight-geometric
    identities $\pi/14 = (\pi/6)(3/7) = \pi/\dim G_2$, placing it unambiguously
    in the $G_2$ root plane without new parameters.
  \item Step s2 will identify the specific weight-lattice displacement that gives
    $\delta_\mathrm{QLC}$ as a closed-form algebraic expression in $\pi$ and the
    $G_2$ roots, closing the theta13-derivation plan.
