A Quantum Model of the Standard Particles
Description
The Standard Model of particle physics treats the masses of its fifteen massive particles as independent measured inputs with no predicted relationship between them. This paper proposes that these particles are not independent objects with unexplained masses but expressions of information-energy at different temperatures. The Infoton (m = kBTln(2)/c²) sets Einstein's rest energy equal to Landauer's thermodynamic cost of erasing one bit of information, producing a characteristic info-energy temperature T for each particle. When mass and temperature are expressed in log₁₀ form, all fifteen particles satisfy a single identity with zero free parameters: log₁₀(T) = log₁₀(m) + 39.9727, where the constant is derived entirely from the Boltzmann constant, ln(2), and the speed of light.
Each of the fifteen massive particles and their antiparticles are characterized across twenty-two derived properties, including rest energy in joules, electron-volts, and MeV; info-mass potential; angular frequency; Compton frequency and wavelength; Wien temperature; info-energy temperature; blackbody peak frequency; Landauer frequency; and the structural invariants Λ_LW and Λ_Temperature. Every property is computed from a single PDG rest mass through the Infoton with no free parameters. Every recovered mass matches the original to full precision.
To confirm whether the Infoton Identity is structurally real or a numerical coincidence, each particle is embedded as a homogeneous vector and subjected to three coordinate transformations: a 30° rotation, an anisotropic scaling, and a Lorentz boost at β = 0.6. The rotation uncouples the Identity by mixing mass and temperature at unequal weights. The scaling preserves collinearity but shifts the slope from 1 to 1.5. The Lorentz boost preserves slope = 1, confirming that the Infoton Identity is structurally resilient under the same symmetric mixing that protects the speed of light. The algebraic preservation condition for slope = 1 is derived and shown to hold exclusively for transformations that treat mass and temperature symmetrically. The mass-shell visualization confirms that the Infoton temperature is Lorentz invariant across both the positive-energy (Feynman) and negative-energy (Dirac) sheets, spanning the full particle-antiparticle boundary without approximation or interpretation dependence.
