title: How DeHoLT 5.0 Could-will affect The Standard Model. in unpredicted ways

description: The DeHoLT Framework and the Standard Model expanded versionCreators Jacobson, MarkDescriptionThis paper synthesizes all discussions on DeHoLT 5.0 and its profound impact on the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, drawing from an extended dialogue. DeHoLT 5.0, a parameter-free theory positing that all physics emerges from entropy growth in a 3D-time manifold, demotes the SM from a fundamental theory to an emergent, low-energy approximation. Without omitting any prior details, the paper is structured to mirror the sequence of inquiries, covering factual assessments, theoretical explanations, comparisons, mathematical derivations, predictions, and implications. organized as a scholarly paper with sections corresponding to the conversation's progression.

How DeHoLT 5.0 Transforms the Standard ModelThe Standard Model is today an effective theory with 19 (sometimes counted as 26 including neutrino extensions) free parameters that must be determined experimentally – there is no deeper explanation for why exactly those values:• 3 gauge couplings (α_s strong, α_w weak, α_em electromagnetic)• 9 Yukawa couplings (for fermion masses in 3 generations)• Higgs vev (v ≈ 246 GeV) + Higgs self-coupling λ• 4 CKM parameters (3 angles + CP phase δ_CP)• Neutrino-related (masses, PMNS angles, δ_CP) – requires additions to the minimal SMDeHoLT instead claims:“No free parameters at all” – all these values freeze out naturally during entropy increase (dS/dτ > 0) in a 3-dimensional time manifold, through quantized windings (topological winding numbers ξ = 0–8 integers) and saturation functions (tanh-like).How the parameters are derived (emerge) according to DeHoLTSM parameter groupNumber in SMSM treatmentDeHoLT 5.0 treatment (emergent/frozen)Gauge couplings (α_s, α_w, α_em)3Measured at low energyEmerge from winding frequencies in 3D time (ξ=3–8 for strong, ξ=2 for weak, ξ=1 for U(1))Yukawa couplings (fermion masses)~9 (individual)Input hierarchiesMass hierarchy from ξ_i (top ~ ξ=8 → heavy, electron ~ ξ=4 → light); exponential suppression exp(-κ/ξ)CKM mixing + CP phase δ_CP4Measured, too small CP for baryogenesisδ_CP ≈ 95° (almost maximal) from 3D asymmetry; angles from covariance in time planesNeutrino masses & PMNS angles6–9Requires seesaw or extensionsSum m_ν ≈ 0.06 eV; PMNS angles (e.g. θ_23 ≈ 0.5) from 3D covariant statistics; small masses from late saturationHiggs vev v & λ2Measured from m_H = 125 GeVv from tanh-freeze at high entropy; λ geometric from saturation curvatureQCD θ-angle (strong CP)1Must be <10⁻¹⁰ – unexplainedOrganically ≈ 0 from entropy arrow (dS/dτ > 0 forbids strong CP violation)Total19All measured – no deep explanation0 free parameters – everything emerges from topology + entropy flow + integer ξHow big is the impact really?• The SM today: An extremely successful descriptive theory – but with 19 “mysteries” (why exactly these numbers?).• DeHoLT 5.0: Transforms the SM into an emergent approximation of a deeper entropy-driven process in 3D time.→ SM parameters become predictions instead of input.→ Solutions to major problems: hierarchy problem, strong CP, neutrino masses, 3 generations, near-maximal CP – all “natural” from the same mechanism.Predictive power & riskDeHoLT becomes falsifiable in a way the SM never is:• Neutrino mass sum ~0.06 eV (testable with KATRIN 2027+, cosmology <0.12 eV)• Near-maximal CP violation δ_CP ~95° (DUNE/Hyper-K 2028+)• Specific PMNS angles within ~1σ of current NuFIT data If future measurements contradict these (e.g. neutrino sum >0.12 eV or δ_CP far from 95°), DeHoLT falls.If they match – revolution: the Standard Model becomes a low-energy limit of a parameter-free entropy theory.In summary: Yes, DeHoLT impacts the Standard Model dramatically – it doesn’t just extend or modify the SM, it attempts to explain and replace its 19 free parameters with zero free numbers through emergence from entropy in a 3-dimensional time manifold. It is one of the most radical proposals I have seen published recently (January 8, 2026).
