Models for Physics of the Very Small and Very Large
This monograph tackles three challenges. First, show a mathematics-based meta-model that matches known elementary particles. Second, apply models, based on the meta-model, to match other known physics data. Third, predict future physics data. The math fea

To Helen Buckholtz. In memory of Joel and Sylvia J. Buckholtz. With appreciation for each of many people who contributed to my being able to attempt this work.
Preface
Welcome to Models for Physics of the Very Small and Very Large. This is a monograph about math-based modeling. However, let me start by describing a book I hope this monograph helps enable. *** Ideally, a book would do the following. List all known elementary particles. List all elementary particles people have not found. Show properties for each particle. Describe interactions in which each particle partakes. Use that information to close gaps between known data and traditional theory. Close gaps regarding particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. Predict data people have yet to measure. Point to practical applications. Do all that, based on one model or theory. That program faces difficulties. For example, suppose someone produced that book. Not enough data exists to verify some aspects of the book. That program features the following question. To what extent can models correlate with elementary particles? That is a useful question to explore. Consider theory. 95 % of the inferred stuff in the observable universe is unknown. To what extent is that stuff made of elemen
