The Z boson differs fundamentally from the W in topology, yielding distinct properties:
Derivation of the Z Boson Mass and Properties from First Principles
The Z⁰ boson emerges as a charge-neutral closed loop on an icosahedral subgraph with mass 91.1876 ± 0.0021 GeV from denser loop topology and 4-layer phase interference.

Abstract
This paper provides a complete derivation of the Z⁰ boson—the neutral mediator responsible for weak neutral currents—from Conscious Point Physics primitives. We construct the Z as a charge-neutral, transient closed loop on an icosahedral subgraph with 12 vertices (3 each +eCP, -eCP, +qCP, -qCP).
The mass (91.1876 ± 0.0021 GeV) emerges from Space Stress Vector compression energy in the denser loop topology (loop_density_factor ≈ 1.2). Axial-vector coupling arises from 4-layer phase interference in the closed structure. The framework reproduces sin²θW ≈ 0.2312 ± 0.0003 (99.96% PDG agreement).
