Neutrino Mass and Oscillation in the Cohesion Unified Field Theory

Neutrinos in the Cohesion Unified Field Theory arise from two interacting geometric
mechanisms: (1) closure leakage from incomplete n = 6 recursion, and (2) densitydependent propagation governed by the resistance function R(Dst). Closure leakage
produces a small but non-zero recursion-rate deficit, giving neutrinos mass. Densitydependent propagation produces phase drift between partially closed recursion states,
giving rise to oscillation. This unified hybrid model explains why neutrinos have
extremely small masses, why there are exactly three neutrino species, why oscillation
occurs, and why oscillation depends on propagation distance and density. The closure
leakage parameter ϵ ∼ 10−6–10−7
is established as an empirical anchor, consistent with
partial closure geometry, pending first-principles derivation from the torsion interval
structure of the mass spectrum paper [5]. This is the first geometric, mechanical, and
scale-consistent account of neutrino mass and oscillation within the Cohesion UFT
framework.
