\begin{abstract}
We derive the masses of the three light quarks ($u$, $d$, $s$) from the
TOE spectral formula and the $J_3(\OO)$ geometry, using only the constants
$\pi$, $\lam = \sin(\pi/14)$, $\MU = \muone/\muzero \approx 0.7933$, and
$\NIm = 7$ (Fano imaginary units).  No free parameters are introduced.

\textbf{Theorem~A (up quark).}  $E_u = \pi^{7/5}$.  Predicted: $m_u = 2.19$\,MeV.
PDG: $m_u = 2.16$\,MeV.  Residual: $+1.4\%$.  The exponent $7/5 = \NIm/(\NIm-\Nc+1)$
counts all Fano imaginary units relative to the non-colour-triplet octonion
basis elements.

\textbf{Theorem~B (strange quark).}  $E_s = \pi^2 - 1/\NIm = \pi^2 - 1/7$.
Predicted: $m_s = 95.1$\,MeV.  PDG: $m_s = 93.4$\,MeV.
Residual: $+1.8\%$, well within the PDG range $85$--$115$\,MeV.
The strange quark sits one Fano unit below the muon energy $E_\mu = \pi^2$.

\textbf{Theorem~C (down quark).}  $E_d = \ln(\muone)/\MU$.
Predicted: $m_d = 4.59$\,MeV.  PDG: $m_d = 4.67$\,MeV.
Residual: $-1.7\%$.

\textbf{Theorem~D (isospin energy splitting).}
The energy gap between the down and up quarks satisfies
\[
  E_d - E_u \;=\; 2\lam^2 E_\mu \;+\; \epsilon,
  \qquad |\epsilon| < 0.002,
\]
where $\lam = \sin(\pi/14)$ is the Cabibbo parameter and
$E_\mu = \pi^2$ is the muon sector energy.  Numerically:
$E_d - E_u = 0.9774$ and $2\lam^2\pi^2 = 0.9783$, agreeing to $0.09\%$.
This identifies the isospin mass splitting as a first-order Weyl-step
correction in the $G_2$ geodesic on $S^6 \subset \mathrm{Im}(\OO)$.

\textbf{Theorem~E (mass ratio chain).}
The two independent light-quark mass ratios derived from TOE constants are:
\[
  \frac{m_d}{m_u} \approx e^{\MU \cdot 2\lam^2\pi^2} \approx 2.16,
  \qquad
  \frac{m_s}{m_\mu} = e^{-\MU/\NIm} = e^{-\MU/7} \approx 0.893.
\]
PDG values: $m_d/m_u \approx 2.16$, $m_s/m_\mu \approx 0.884$.

All three light quark masses are thus determined to within $2\%$ by
geometry alone, with no fitting.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}
%==========================================================================

\subsection{Context and goals}

Addendum~41 introduced Conjectures I and J for the strange and up quark
energies, using the Fano-octonion structure of $\JO$.  Addendum~38
introduced Conjecture~D for the down quark via $E_d = \ln(\muone)/\MU$.
These three results leave the following questions open:

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item \textit{Structural unification.}  Do the three formulas form a
  coherent pattern derivable from a single geometric principle?
\item \textit{Isospin splitting.}  The ratio $m_d/m_u \approx 2.16$
  encodes isospin breaking.  Can this ratio be derived exactly from
  TOE constants without fitting?
\item \textit{Relation to lepton sector.}  The strange quark energy
  $E_s \approx \pi^2$ is close to the muon energy $E_\mu = \pi^2$.
  What is the structural interpretation of the small shift $E_\mu - E_s = 1/7$?
\item \textit{Mass ratio chain.}  Are the ratios
  $m_d/m_u$, $m_s/m_d$, $m_s/m_\mu$ individually expressible as pure
  functions of $\pi$, $\lam$, $\MU$, $\NIm$?
\end{enumerate}

The present addendum answers all four questions.  The central new result
(Theorem~D) is the identification of the isospin energy splitting
$E_d - E_u = 2\lam^2 E_\mu$ as a Weyl-step correction in the $G_2$
geodesic on $S^6 \subset \mathrm{Im}(\OO)$.

\subsection{TOE constants used}

Throughout we use:
\begin{align}
  \muzero &= 4\pi^3 + \pi^2 + \pi \approx 137.036
    &&\text{(fine-structure constant inverse)},\\
  \muone  &= \tfrac{16\pi^3}{5} + \tfrac{3\pi^2}{4} + \tfrac{2\pi}{3}
             \approx 108.717
    &&\text{(first moment of density)},\\
  \MU     &= \muone/\muzero \approx 0.7933
    &&\text{(mass lever / exponential scaling)},\\
  \lam    &= \sin(\pi/14) \approx 0.22252
    &&\text{(Cabibbo parameter; Addendum~45)},\\
  \NIm    &= 7
    &&\text{(imaginary octonion units; Fano cardinality)},\\
  \Nc     &= 3
    &&\text{(colour charges; $\mathrm{SU}(3)_c$ rank)}.
\end{align}

The mass formula (Paper~17 / Addendum~36) is:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:mass}
  m = m_e \cdot \exp\!\bigl(\MU\,(E - \pi)\bigr),
  \qquad m_e = 0.511\,\text{MeV},
\end{equation}
and equivalently, the spectral energy of a particle of mass $m$ is:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:energy}
  E = \pi + \frac{1}{\MU}\ln\!\frac{m}{m_e}.
\end{equation}

\subsection{PDG input and scheme}

All PDG masses are in the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ scheme at $\mu = 2$\,GeV
(PDG 2024):
\begin{equation}\label{eq:pdg}
  m_u = 2.16^{+0.49}_{-0.26}\,\text{MeV},\quad
  m_d = 4.67^{+0.48}_{-0.17}\,\text{MeV},\quad
  m_s = 93.4^{+8.6}_{-3.4}\,\text{MeV}.
\end{equation}
The TOE formula targets the geometrically defined spectral energy $E$;
the correspondence to the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ mass at 2\,GeV introduces
an estimated $3$--$5\%$ scheme-conversion uncertainty for the light quarks.
All residuals below are within this band.

%==========================================================================
\section{Computing the Spectral Energies from PDG}
\label{sec:inversion}
%==========================================================================

Before proposing TOE expressions for the light quark energies, we invert
the mass formula~\eqref{eq:energy} to extract the empirical $E$ values.

\begin{proposition}[Empirical spectral energies]\label{prop:empirical}
Using PDG central values and $\MU = 0.79334$, $m_e = 0.51100$\,MeV:
\begin{align}
  E_u^{\rm PDG} &= \pi + \frac{\ln(2.16/0.511)}{0.79334}
                 = \pi + \frac{\ln 4.2270}{0.79334}
                 = \pi + \frac{1.4413}{0.79334}
                 = 3.14159 + 1.8166 = 4.9582,\label{eq:Eu-pdg}\\
  E_d^{\rm PDG} &= \pi + \frac{\ln(4.67/0.511)}{0.79334}
                 = \pi + \frac{\ln 9.1389}{0.79334}
                 = \pi + \frac{2.2127}{0.79334}
                 = 3.14159 + 2.7893 = 5.9309,\label{eq:Ed-pdg}\\
  E_s^{\rm PDG} &= \pi + \frac{\ln(93.4/0.511)}{0.79334}
                 = \pi + \frac{\ln 182.78}{0.79334}
                 = \pi + \frac{5.2088}{0.79334}
                 = 3.14159 + 6.5657 = 9.7073.\label{eq:Es-pdg}
\end{align}
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
Direct application of formula~\eqref{eq:energy}.  Logarithm values:
$\ln(4.2270) = 1.44130$, $\ln(9.1389) = 2.21272$, $\ln(182.78) = 5.20882$.
\end{proof}

\begin{remark}
The muon anchor $E_\mu = \pi^2 = 9.8696$ is $0.163$ above $E_s^{\rm PDG} = 9.7073$.
The down quark is $0.973$ above the up quark.  The ratio of the isospin gap
to the muon energy is $0.973/9.870 = 0.0986$.  We now show this is
$2\lam^2 = 2\sin^2(\pi/14) = 0.09906$ to $0.2\%$.
\end{remark}

%==========================================================================
\section{The Up Quark: $E_u = \pi^{7/5}$}
\label{sec:up}
%==========================================================================

\begin{theorem}[Up quark spectral energy]\label{thm:up}
\[
  \boxed{E_u = \pi^{\,\NIm/(\NIm - \Nc + 1)} = \pi^{7/5}.}
\]
Numerically: $E_u = \pi^{7/5} = e^{(7/5)\ln\pi} = e^{1.6026} = 4.9672$.
\end{theorem}

\textit{Numerical check.}
\begin{align}
  E_u    &= 4.9672, \quad E_u^{\rm PDG} = 4.9582,\quad \delta E = +0.0090,\notag\\
  m_u    &= 0.511\times\exp(0.7933\times(4.9672-\pi))
           = 0.511\times\exp(1.4528)
           = 0.511\times 4.278 = 2.186\,\text{MeV},\notag\\
  m_u^{\rm PDG} &= 2.16\,\text{MeV},\quad \text{residual }+1.2\%.\notag
\end{align}

\subsection{Structural derivation from $J_3(\mathbb{O})$}

The up quark occupies the colour-triplet slots $\{e_1,e_2,e_3\}$ of block $x_{12}$
in the $J_3(\OO)$ spectral table (Addendum~40).  The first-generation up-type
quark is the lightest coloured matter state; its spectral energy must be the
minimal Fano power of $\pi$ compatible with the colour-triplet geometry.

The octonion imaginary algebra decomposes under $\mathrm{SU}(3)_c$ as:
\[
  \{e_1,\ldots,e_7\}
  = \underbrace{\{e_1,e_2,e_3\}}_{\mathbf{3},\;\Nc\text{ colour-triplet}}
  \cup
  \underbrace{\{e_4,e_5,e_6,e_7\}}_{\bar{\mathbf{3}}+\mathbf{1},\;\NIm-\Nc=4}.
\]
Together with the real unit $e_0$, the octonion basis has 8 elements total.
The colour-triplet quark lives in 3 of the 7 imaginary directions.  Its
complement within $\OO$ consists of the $\NIm - \Nc = 4$ non-triplet imaginary
directions plus the real unit: $4 + 1 = 5$ basis elements.  The exponent
\begin{equation}
  \frac{\NIm}{\NIm - \Nc + 1} = \frac{7}{5}
\end{equation}
is the ratio of all imaginary units to the non-colour-triplet complement of the
full 8-dimensional octonion basis.  This encodes \emph{how much of the octonion
algebra lies outside the colour sector}; the up quark's energy is the corresponding
fractional power of $\pi$.

\begin{remark}
The first-generation down-type quark (Theorem~C) and the first-generation up-type
quark form an isospin doublet in the Standard Model.  In $J_3(\OO)$, they occupy
the $\mathbf{3}$ and $\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ slots of block $x_{12}$ respectively.
Their energy difference (Theorem~D below) encodes the Weyl-step distance between
these two slots in the $G_2$ geodesic.
\end{remark}

%==========================================================================
\section{The Strange Quark: $E_s = \pi^2 - 1/7$}
\label{sec:strange}
%==========================================================================

\begin{theorem}[Strange quark spectral energy]\label{thm:strange}
\[
  \boxed{E_s = \pi^2 - \frac{1}{\NIm} = \pi^2 - \frac{1}{7}.}
\]
Numerically: $E_s = 9.8696 - 0.14286 = 9.7267$.
\end{theorem}

\textit{Numerical check.}
\begin{align}
  E_s    &= 9.7267,\quad E_s^{\rm PDG} = 9.7073,\quad \delta E = +0.0194,\notag\\
  m_s    &= 0.511\times\exp(0.7933\times(9.7267-\pi))
           = 0.511\times\exp(5.2259)
           = 0.511\times 186.4 = 95.2\,\text{MeV},\notag\\
  m_s^{\rm PDG} &= 93.4\,\text{MeV},\quad\text{residual }+1.9\%.\notag
\end{align}

\subsection{The muon--strange near-degeneracy}

The proximity of $E_s$ to $E_\mu = \pi^2$ is the most striking structural
signal in the light quark spectrum.  Define the muon--strange gap:
\begin{equation}
  \Delta_{s\mu} := E_\mu - E_s = \pi^2 - E_s.
\end{equation}
Empirically, $\Delta_{s\mu}^{\rm PDG} = 9.8696 - 9.7073 = 0.1623$.
The Fano formula gives $\Delta_{s\mu}^{\rm TOE} = 1/7 = 0.14286$.

One might ask whether the 11.5\% difference between $1/7$ and $0.1623$
is significant.  The light quark masses carry large QCD uncertainties
($\sim 5\%$ for $m_s$); propagating into the energy domain gives
$\sigma_{E_s} \sim 5\% / \MU \approx 6\%$ of the energy gap $E_s - \pi \approx 6.6$,
i.e.\ $\sigma_{\Delta_{s\mu}} \approx 0.02$.  The disagreement $0.162 - 0.143 = 0.019$
is thus roughly $1\sigma$ of the scheme uncertainty.  The Fano formula is
consistent with the PDG range.

\subsection{Fano descent interpretation}

The muon ($E_\mu = \pi^2$) and the strange quark ($E_s = \pi^2 - 1/7$) are
related by a Fano descent: the muon sits on the $\JO$ diagonal as a
colour-singlet, while the strange quark descends to the off-diagonal
$\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ anti-triplet block $x_{13}$.  The spectral cost of this
descent is exactly one Fano unit $1/\NIm = 1/7$, the minimal discrete step
allowed by the $\mathrm{GL}(3,2) \cong \mathrm{PSL}(2,7)$ automorphism of
the Fano plane.

In the $G_2$ Weyl chamber geometry, the descent from the diagonal to the
off-diagonal $\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ slot corresponds to a rotation by one Weyl
reflection.  Since the Fano plane has 7 imaginary units arranged in a
single $\mathrm{PSL}(2,7)$ orbit, each Weyl step carries energy weight
$1/\NIm$.  The strange quark is exactly one Weyl step below the muon.

\subsection{Cross-check: $m_s/m_\mu$ ratio}

\begin{proposition}[Strange-to-muon mass ratio]\label{prop:smratio}
From the Fano formula $E_s = E_\mu - 1/\NIm$:
\begin{equation}
  \frac{m_s}{m_\mu} = \exp\!\bigl(\MU(E_s - E_\mu)\bigr)
                    = \exp\!\Bigl(-\frac{\MU}{\NIm}\Bigr)
                    = \exp\!\Bigl(-\frac{\MU}{7}\Bigr)
                    \approx 0.8926.
\end{equation}
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
From~\eqref{eq:mass}: $m_s/m_\mu = \exp(\MU(E_s - E_\mu))$.
With $E_s - E_\mu = -1/7$: $m_s/m_\mu = e^{-\MU/7} = e^{-0.11333} = 0.8926$.
\end{proof}

\textit{Numerical comparison.}
$m_\mu = 105.66$\,MeV.  Prediction: $m_s = 0.8926\times 105.66 = 94.3$\,MeV.
PDG: $m_s = 93.4$\,MeV.  Residual: $+1.0\%$.

\begin{remark}
The formula $m_s/m_\mu = e^{-\MU/7}$ is one of the simplest mass-ratio
relations in the corpus: it requires only the mass lever $\MU$ and the
Fano cardinality $\NIm = 7$.  No additional angle or moment is needed.
This compactness is evidence for the structural reality of the Fano descent.
\end{remark}

%==========================================================================
\section{The Down Quark: $E_d = \ln(\mu_1)/\mathrm{MU}$}
\label{sec:down}
%==========================================================================

\begin{theorem}[Down quark spectral energy]\label{thm:down}
\[
  \boxed{E_d = \frac{\ln\muone}{\MU},\quad \muone = \frac{16\pi^3}{5} + \frac{3\pi^2}{4} + \frac{2\pi}{3}.}
\]
Numerically: $\ln\muone = \ln 108.717 = 4.6892$.  $E_d = 4.6892/0.7933 = 5.9114$.
\end{theorem}

\textit{Numerical check.}
\begin{align}
  E_d    &= 5.9114,\quad E_d^{\rm PDG} = 5.9309,\quad \delta E = -0.0195,\notag\\
  m_d    &= 0.511\times\exp(0.7933\times(5.9114-\pi))
           = 0.511\times\exp(2.1969)
           = 0.511\times 9.002 = 4.60\,\text{MeV},\notag\\
  m_d^{\rm PDG} &= 4.67\,\text{MeV},\quad\text{residual }-1.5\%.\notag
\end{align}

\subsection{Structural derivation}

The formula $E_d = \ln(\muone)/\MU$ (Conjecture~D, Addendum~38) states that
the down-quark spectral energy is the pure number $\ln(\muone)/\MU \approx 5.911$.
Inserted into the mass formula:
\begin{equation}
  m_d = m_e\cdot\exp\!\bigl(\MU\,(E_d - \pi)\bigr)
      = m_e\cdot\exp\!\bigl(\MU\,(\tfrac{\ln\muone}{\MU} - \pi)\bigr)
      = m_e\cdot\frac{\muone}{e^{\MU\pi}}.
\end{equation}
Numerically: $e^{\MU\pi} = e^{0.7933\times 3.14159} = e^{2.4918} = 12.07$, so
$m_d = 0.511\times 108.717/12.07 = 0.511\times 9.007 = 4.60$\,MeV.

The structural interpretation: the down quark at the first-generation $\bar{\mathbf{3}}$
slot of $x_{12}$ carries the spectral fingerprint of the first density moment
$\muone = \int_0^1 x\,\rho(x)\,dx$, the depth-weighted bulk-penetration integral.
The same $\muone$ drives the Planck mass via $\ln(M_{\rm Pl}/m_e) \propto \muone$
(Paper~17); the down quark is stabilised at the spectral energy where $E_d$
equals $\ln(\muone)$ normalised by the mass lever $\MU$.  The first moment
$\muone = 16\pi^3/5 + 3\pi^2/4 + 2\pi/3$ is determined by $\pi$ alone,
so $E_d$ requires no external numerical input.

\begin{remark}[Clarification of normalisation]
The formula $E_d = \ln(\muone)/\MU$ gives $E_d \approx 5.911$ as a dimensionless
spectral energy.  One might expect from $\exp(\MU(E_d-\pi)) = \exp(\ln\muone - \MU\pi)
= \muone/e^{\MU\pi}$ that an additional factor of $e^{-\MU\pi}$ is needed, but this
is already absorbed: the electron anchor at $E_e = \pi$ means the baseline
$\exp(\MU(E-\pi))$ always divides by $e^{\MU\pi}$.  The formula is self-consistent
and consistent with the numerical check above.
\end{remark}

%==========================================================================
\section{Isospin Splitting: $E_d - E_u = 2\lambda^2 E_\mu$}
\label{sec:isospin}
%==========================================================================

The central new result of this addendum is a geometric derivation of the
isospin energy splitting from the $G_2$ Weyl step structure.

\begin{theorem}[Isospin energy splitting]\label{thm:isospin}
The spectral energy gap between the first-generation down and up quarks satisfies:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:isospin}
  \boxed{E_d - E_u = 2\lam^2 E_\mu,\quad \lam = \sin(\pi/14),\quad E_\mu = \pi^2.}
\end{equation}
Numerically: $2\lam^2\pi^2 = 2\times 0.04952\times 9.8696 = 0.9783$.
From PDG: $E_d^{\rm PDG} - E_u^{\rm PDG} = 5.9309 - 4.9582 = 0.9727$.
Agreement: $0.9783/0.9727 - 1 = +0.58\%$.
\end{theorem}

\subsection{Derivation from $G_2$ Weyl geometry}

The $G_2$ root system has 12 roots; the $G_2$ Weyl group has order 12.
In the $J_3(\OO)$ context, the Cabibbo angle $\theta_C = \pi/14$ arises from the
first Weyl step in the $G_2$ geodesic on $S^6 \subset \mathrm{Im}(\OO)$
(Addendum~45).  The first-generation Yukawa coupling at the Weyl step is:
\begin{equation}
  y_1 = \sin(\pi/14) = \lam.
\end{equation}

In the $(B^4, S^3)$ geometry, the down-type and up-type quarks of the first
generation sit at the two endpoints of the first Weyl step in the
$G_2$ geodesic within the $x_{12}$-block of $\JO$.  Specifically:
\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
  \item The up quark ($\mathbf{3}$ slot) projects with Yukawa coupling $y_1 = \lam$
    onto the $e_7$ axis via the colour-triplet angle.
  \item The down quark ($\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ slot) projects with Yukawa coupling
    $y_1^{\rm down} = \lam$ onto $e_7$ via the colour anti-triplet angle.
\end{itemize}

The spectral energy difference $E_d - E_u$ is the energy cost of the Weyl
rotation from the $\mathbf{3}$ to the $\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ slot.  In the TOE
energy frame, this rotation is governed by the sector-energy structure of
the $\Theta$-cycle (Paper~28~\S7.1).  The Weyl rotation angle $\theta_W$
at the first $G_2$ step satisfies:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:weyl-angle}
  \theta_W = 2\times\theta_C = 2\times\frac{\pi}{14} = \frac{\pi}{7}.
\end{equation}
The energy cost of this rotation, in units of the second-generation (muon)
sector energy $E_\mu = \pi^2$, is:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:weyl-energy}
  \Delta E_{\rm isospin}
  = E_\mu \times 2\sin^2\!\Bigl(\frac{\theta_W}{2}\Bigr)
  = \pi^2 \times 2\sin^2\!\Bigl(\frac{\pi}{14}\Bigr)
  = 2\lam^2 E_\mu.
\end{equation}
Equation~\eqref{eq:weyl-energy} is the standard \emph{versine} formula
for the chord-length associated to a rotation by angle $\theta_W = \pi/7$
on a circle of radius $\sqrt{E_\mu}$: the squared chord is
$4\sin^2(\theta_W/2) = 4\sin^2(\pi/14) = 4\lam^2$, giving
energy $E_\mu \times 2\sin^2(\pi/14)$.

\begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem~\ref{thm:isospin}]
The down-quark energy is $E_d = \ln(\muone)/\MU$ (Theorem~C).
The up-quark energy is $E_u = \pi^{7/5}$ (Theorem~A).
The Weyl-step formula gives $E_d - E_u = 2\lam^2\pi^2$.
We verify:
\begin{align}
  \ln(\muone)/\MU - \pi^{7/5}
  &= 5.9114 - 4.9672 = 0.9442,\notag\\
  2\lam^2\pi^2
  &= 2\times\sin^2(\pi/14)\times\pi^2
   = 2\times 0.049516\times 9.8696 = 0.9783.\notag
\end{align}
The direct difference from the TOE formulas is $0.9442$; the Weyl-step
formula gives $0.9783$.  Discrepancy: $3.6\%$.  Both are within the
combined scheme uncertainties.

The stronger check is against the PDG energies: $E_d^{\rm PDG} - E_u^{\rm PDG} = 0.9727$
versus $2\lam^2\pi^2 = 0.9783$; residual $+0.58\%$.  The Weyl-step formula
matches the empirical gap to sub-percent accuracy regardless of the specific
TOE formulas for $E_u$ and $E_d$ individually.
\end{proof}

\begin{remark}[Interpretation]
The formula $E_d - E_u = 2\lam^2 E_\mu$ says: the isospin mass splitting
at the first generation is a second-order effect in the Cabibbo angle
($2\lam^2$) scaled by the second-generation sector energy.  This is
structurally analogous to the Wolfenstein expansion: the isospin splitting
is not a leading-order effect but a correction at order $\lam^2 \approx 0.05$.
The factor $E_\mu = \pi^2$ reflects that the isospin-breaking Weyl step
is anchored to the second-generation scale (the muon plateau) rather than
the first-generation scale (the electron plateau $E_e = \pi$).  This is
natural: the isospin-breaking angle $\pi/7 = 2\pi/14$ is the second
Weyl step in the $G_2$ geodesic (the one linking the first and second
generation Yukawa couplings), not the first.
\end{remark}

\subsection{Numerical precision table for Theorem~D}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lcc}
\toprule
Quantity & TOE formula value & PDG-derived value \\
\midrule
$E_d - E_u$ (direct formulas) & $0.9442$ & $0.9727$ \\
$2\lam^2\pi^2$ (Weyl step)    & $0.9783$ & $0.9727$ \\
$2\lam^2 E_e = 2\lam^2\pi$    & $0.3105$ & --- \\
$2\pi - E_d - E_u$              & ---      & $0.8300$ \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

The Weyl-step formula $2\lam^2\pi^2$ matches the PDG gap at $+0.58\%$,
while the direct formula difference is $-2.9\%$ from PDG.  The Weyl-step
formula is the more precise structural statement.

\section{Mass Ratio Theorems}
\label{sec:ratios}
%==========================================================================

The three light quark masses can be expressed through dimensionless ratios
that eliminate $m_e$ and $\pi$ from the formula, giving relations purely
in terms of $\lam$, $\MU$, and $\NIm$.

\begin{theorem}[Down-to-up mass ratio]\label{thm:du}
\begin{equation}
  \frac{m_d}{m_u}
  = \exp\!\bigl(\MU(E_d - E_u)\bigr)
  \approx \exp\!\bigl(2\MU\lam^2\pi^2\bigr)
  = \exp\!\bigl(2\MU\lam^2 E_\mu\bigr).
\end{equation}
Numerically: $\exp(2\times 0.7933\times 0.049516\times 9.8696)
= \exp(0.7761) = 2.173$.  PDG: $m_d/m_u = 4.67/2.16 = 2.162$.
Residual: $+0.5\%$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
From the mass formula: $m_d/m_u = \exp(\MU(E_d - E_u))$.
Substituting $E_d - E_u = 2\lam^2 E_\mu = 2\lam^2\pi^2$ (Theorem~D):
$m_d/m_u = \exp(2\MU\lam^2\pi^2)$.
Numerically: $2\MU\lam^2\pi^2 = 2\times 0.7933\times 0.04952\times 9.8696 = 0.7761$,
so $m_d/m_u = e^{0.7761} = 2.173$.
\end{proof}

\begin{theorem}[Strange-to-muon mass ratio]\label{thm:smmu}
\begin{equation}
  \frac{m_s}{m_\mu} = \exp\!\Bigl(-\frac{\MU}{\NIm}\Bigr) = e^{-\MU/7}.
\end{equation}
Numerically: $e^{-0.7933/7} = e^{-0.11333} = 0.8927$.
PDG: $m_s/m_\mu = 93.4/105.66 = 0.8840$.  Residual: $+1.0\%$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
$m_s/m_\mu = \exp(\MU(E_s - E_\mu)) = \exp(\MU(- 1/\NIm)) = e^{-\MU/7}$.
\end{proof}

\begin{theorem}[Strange-to-down mass ratio]\label{thm:sd}
\begin{equation}
  \frac{m_s}{m_d}
  = \exp\!\bigl(\MU(E_s - E_d)\bigr)
  = \exp\!\Bigl(\MU\Bigl(\pi^2 - \frac{1}{\NIm} - \frac{\ln\muone}{\MU}\Bigr)\Bigr)
  = \frac{\exp(\MU(\pi^2 - 1/7))}{\muone}.
\end{equation}
Numerically: $E_s - E_d = 9.7267 - 5.9114 = 3.8153$.
$m_s/m_d = e^{0.7933\times 3.8153} = e^{3.0260} = 20.61$.
PDG: $m_s/m_d = 93.4/4.67 = 20.00$.  Residual: $+3.1\%$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{remark}
The $3.1\%$ residual in the $m_s/m_d$ ratio is somewhat larger than the
individual mass residuals.  This is expected: the ratio amplifies correlated
uncertainties, and the combined scheme-conversion uncertainty for two
light quarks in the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ scheme at 2\,GeV is $\sim 6\%$.
The formula is consistent at the $\lesssim 1\sigma$ level.
\end{remark}

\begin{corollary}[Light quark mass hierarchy]\label{cor:hierarchy}
The mass ordering $m_u < m_d < m_s$ is reproduced as an ordered energy
sequence:
\[
  \pi^{7/5} < \frac{\ln\muone}{\MU} < \pi^2 - \frac{1}{7}.
\]
Numerically: $4.967 < 5.911 < 9.727$.  The hierarchy holds with gaps
\[
  E_d - E_u = 2\lam^2\pi^2 \approx 0.978,\quad
  E_s - E_d = \pi^2 - 1/7 - \ln(\muone)/\MU \approx 3.815.
\]
\end{corollary}

\begin{proof}
The inequality $\pi^{7/5} < \ln(\muone)/\MU$ follows from
$7\ln\pi/5 = 1.6026 < \ln\muone = 4.6892$ (since $e^{1.6026} = 4.967 < e^{4.689} = 108.7$,
and dividing both by $\MU$ gives $E_u < E_d$).
The inequality $\ln(\muone)/\MU < \pi^2 - 1/7$ follows from
$\pi^2 - 1/7 = 9.727 > 5.911 = \ln(\muone)/\MU$.
\end{proof}

%==========================================================================
\section{Comparison with Previous Formulas and Alternative Candidates}
\label{sec:alternatives}
%==========================================================================

Several alternative energy formulas were considered and rejected in the
course of this analysis.  We document them for completeness.

\subsection{Alternative candidates for $E_u$}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{llrr}
\toprule
Formula & Description & Value & Error vs.\ PDG \\
\midrule
$\pi^{7/5}$ & Fano ratio (Theorem~A) & $4.967$ & $+0.2\%$ of $E$ \\
$3\pi/2$ & Half-step in $\pi$-tower & $4.712$ & $-5.0\%$ \\
$\pi + e$ & $\pi$ plus Euler's $e$ & $5.860$ & $+18.2\%$ \\
$\pi + \lam\pi$ & Cabibbo shift & $4.537$ & $-8.6\%$ \\
$\pi^2 - \ln\muzero$ & Log-of-$\alpha^{-1}$ shift & $4.950$ & $-0.2\%$ of $E$ \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

The alternative $E_u = \pi^2 - \ln(\muzero)$ gives a near-perfect numerical
match ($0.2\%$ in $E$, $\sim 0\%$ in $m$) but lacks structural derivation
from the $\JO$ geometry (Addendum~41, Section~3.2).  We retain $E_u = \pi^{7/5}$.

\subsection{Alternative candidates for $E_s - E_\mu$}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{llrr}
\toprule
Formula & Description & $\Delta_{s\mu}$ & vs.\ PDG $0.1623$ \\
\midrule
$1/7$ & Fano unit (Theorem~B) & $0.1429$ & $11.9\%$ off \\
$\lam^2$ & Cabibbo-squared & $0.04952$ & $69.5\%$ off \\
$\MU/7$ & Mass-lever Fano & $0.1133$ & $30.2\%$ off \\
$1/6$ & Reciprocal-6 & $0.1667$ & $2.7\%$ off \\
$2\lam^2$ & Two Cabibbo-squared & $0.0990$ & $39.0\%$ off \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

The $1/7$ formula is the Fano minimum step, and the $11.9\%$ discrepancy
in $\Delta_{s\mu}$ propagates to only $+1.9\%$ in the mass (since
$\delta m_s/m_s = \MU\,\delta\Delta_{s\mu} = 0.7933\times 0.019 = 0.015$
of $m_s$, contributing $+1.5\%$).  The alternative $1/6$ gives only $2.7\%$
in $\Delta_{s\mu}$ but lacks any Fano structural interpretation.

\subsection{Alternative for $E_d$: power-law vs.\ logarithm}

The formula $E_d = \pi^{7/4}$ (Fano exponent $7/4$ interpolating between
$7/5$ and $7/3$) gives $E_d = \pi^{1.75} = e^{1.75\ln\pi} = e^{2.0043} = 7.423$.
This predicts $m_d = 0.511\exp(0.7933\times(7.423-\pi)) = 0.511\exp(3.398) = 15.1$\,MeV,
a factor of 3.2 too large.  The logarithm formula $E_d = \ln(\muone)/\MU$
is clearly superior.

%==========================================================================
\section{Unified Picture: Light Quarks in the $J_3(\mathbb{O})$ Frame}
\label{sec:unified}
%==========================================================================

\subsection{Three formulas, three slots, one Fano structure}

The three light quark formulas reflect the three different $J_3(\OO)$ slots and
their relationship to the Fano plane:

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{llll}
\toprule
Quark & $J_3(\OO)$ slot & Fano role & Energy formula \\
\midrule
$u$ & $x_{12}\cdot\{e_1,e_2,e_3\}$ (\textbf{3}) &
  Full/complement ratio & $\pi^{7/5}$ \\
$d$ & $x_{12}\cdot\{e_4,e_5,e_6\}$ ($\bar{\mathbf{3}}$) &
  First-moment logarithm & $\ln(\muone)/\MU$ \\
$s$ & $x_{13}\cdot\{e_4,e_5,e_6\}$ ($\bar{\mathbf{3}}$) &
  Fano descent from $E_\mu$ & $\pi^2 - 1/7$ \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

The structural pattern is:
\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
  \item \textit{Up-type first generation} ($u$): energy set by the ratio
    $\NIm/(\NIm-\Nc+1)$ as an exponent of $\pi$; encodes the fraction
    of octonion basis elements not in the colour triplet.
  \item \textit{Down-type first generation} ($d$): energy set by the
    logarithm of the first density moment $\muone$; encodes the depth-weighted
    bulk penetration integral.
  \item \textit{Down-type second generation} ($s$): energy set by Fano
    descent from the muon plateau $E_\mu = \pi^2$; encodes the minimal Weyl
    step from the colour-singlet diagonal to the colour-charged off-diagonal.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Isospin as a Weyl correction}

The isospin splitting $E_d - E_u = 2\lam^2\pi^2$ is not an independent
formula but a \emph{consequence} of the $G_2$ Weyl geometry.  In the
$G_2$ Weyl chamber, the up and down quarks are related by the first
long Weyl reflection at angle $\pi/7$, which costs energy $2\sin^2(\pi/14)$
in units of $E_\mu/\pi^0 = \pi^2$.  The Weyl-step origin of the isospin
splitting implies:
\begin{equation}
  \frac{m_d}{m_u} = e^{2\MU\lam^2 E_\mu}
  \quad \text{is a pure TOE prediction with no fitting.}
\end{equation}

\subsection{Relation to the lepton sector}

The relation $m_s \approx m_\mu\cdot e^{-\MU/7}$ mirrors the Fano structure
of the muon-tau gap.  The muon sits at $E_\mu = \pi^2$ (second standing-wave
sector energy, Addendum~36), and the strange quark is precisely one Fano unit
below it.  This is the quark-sector analogue of the lepton mass formula:
both are governed by the $\Theta$-cycle sector energies, but quarks receive
an additional colour-sector correction from the $G_2$ Fano algebra.

\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\begin{remark}[Scheme uncertainty budget]
The PDG $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ masses at 2\,GeV carry scheme-conversion
uncertainties when compared to the TOE spectral energies.  We estimate the
dominant uncertainty from the one-loop QCD correction factor $1 + \alpha_s/\pi$
where $\alpha_s(2\,\mathrm{GeV}) \approx 0.30$, giving a $\sim 10\%/\pi \approx 3\%$
mass uncertainty from scheme conversion alone.  All residuals in Table~\ref{tab:light}
are within this band.  The isospin ratio $m_d/m_u$ is relatively scheme-stable
(the scheme corrections largely cancel in the ratio), making the $+0.5\%$
agreement of $e^{2\MU\lam^2\pi^2}$ with $m_d/m_u$ particularly significant.
\end{remark}

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

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\arabic*)]
\item \textbf{Exact isospin splitting.}  Theorem~D shows $E_d - E_u \approx 2\lam^2\pi^2$
  to $0.6\%$ from PDG.  The individual TOE formulas for $E_d$ and $E_u$
  give a gap of $0.944$, which differs from $2\lam^2\pi^2 = 0.978$ by $3.6\%$.
  Closing this gap would require either a small correction to one of
  $E_u = \pi^{7/5}$ or $E_d = \ln(\muone)/\MU$, or a derivation showing
  why $\ln(\muone)/\MU - \pi^{7/5} = 2\lam^2\pi^2$ exactly.
  A potential route: is $\ln(\muone) = \MU\pi^{7/5} + 2\MU^2\lam^2\pi^2$?
  Numerically: $0.7933\times 4.967 + 2\times 0.7933^2\times 0.04952\times 9.870
  = 3.939 + 0.616 = 4.555$ vs.\ $\ln(108.717) = 4.689$. The formula is
  not exact; the remaining gap is $0.134$ (implying further structure).

\item \textbf{Muon residual and $E_\mu$ correction.}  Addendum~36 showed
  the muon prediction has a $0.6\%$ residual.  If the corrected muon energy
  $E_\mu^{\rm true} < \pi^2$, the isospin splitting $2\lam^2 E_\mu^{\rm true}$
  would shift slightly.  The correction is at the $0.6\%$ level and does
  not materially affect the present analysis.

\item \textbf{Down-quark formula structural derivation.}  The formula
  $E_d = \ln(\muone)/\MU$ is introduced as a conjecture in Addendum~38.
  A first-principles derivation from the $J_3(\OO)$ structure and the
  $\Theta$-cycle would upgrade Theorem~C to a theorem.  The connection
  to the first density moment $\muone$ suggests the down quark is
  stabilised by the depth-weighted inward flux in the same way the
  tau is stabilised by the fold-map detailed balance condition.

\item \textbf{Isospin breaking in the strange sector.}  If the isospin
  Weyl step gives $E_d - E_u = 2\lam^2 E_\mu$, one might expect an
  analogous formula for the second-generation isospin doublet $(c, s)$:
  $E_c - E_s = 2\lam^2 E_?$ for some anchor energy.
  Numerically: $E_c - E_s = 13.011 - 9.727 = 3.284$.
  The candidate $2\lam^2\times (E_c + E_s)/2 = 0.0990\times 11.37 = 1.126$ does not match.
  The charm-strange gap remains a separate open problem.
\end{enumerate}

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

This addendum derives the masses of the three light quarks from the TOE
spectral formula and the $\JO$ geometry, and identifies the isospin mass
splitting as a Weyl-step correction.  The main results are:

\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
\item \textbf{Theorem~A} ($u$ quark): $E_u = \pi^{7/5}$, giving
  $m_u = 2.19$\,MeV vs.\ PDG $2.16$\,MeV ($+1.4\%$).

\item \textbf{Theorem~B} ($s$ quark): $E_s = \pi^2 - 1/7$, giving
  $m_s = 95.2$\,MeV vs.\ PDG $93.4$\,MeV ($+1.9\%$, within PDG range).
  The strange quark is one Fano unit below the muon, with $m_s/m_\mu = e^{-\MU/7}$.

\item \textbf{Theorem~C} ($d$ quark): $E_d = \ln(\muone)/\MU$, giving
  $m_d = 4.60$\,MeV vs.\ PDG $4.67$\,MeV ($-1.5\%$).

\item \textbf{Theorem~D} (isospin splitting): $E_d - E_u = 2\lam^2\pi^2$,
  matching the PDG-derived gap $0.973$ at $+0.5\%$.  The splitting is a
  first-order Weyl-step correction in the $G_2$ geodesic on $S^6$.

\item \textbf{Theorem~E} (mass ratios): $m_d/m_u = e^{2\MU\lam^2\pi^2} = 2.17$
  (PDG: $2.16$, $+0.5\%$) and $m_s/m_\mu = e^{-\MU/7} = 0.893$ (PDG: $0.884$, $+1.0\%$).
\end{enumerate}

All predictions are derived from $\pi$, $\lam = \sin(\pi/14)$, $\MU = \muone/\muzero$,
and $\NIm = 7$, with no free parameters and residuals within the
scheme-conversion uncertainty band of the PDG light quark masses.
