Strange Quark Structure

Second-Generation Down-Type Quark | Mass: 96 MeV/c² | Charge: -1/3 e

Structure: Core + Tetrahedral Cage

Mass Generation via Cage Structure

The strange quark's mass (96 MeV) is approximately 20x the down quark's mass (4.7 MeV). This significant increase comes from the tetrahedral cage structure: 4 vertices each containing eDP pairs that create extensive PSR (Polarizable Spacetime Region) chaining. The cage geometry provides geometric stability while the additional dipole pairs add mass through their electromagnetic field interactions.
