Down Quark Structure
First-Generation Down-Type | Mass: ~4.7 MeV/c² | Charge: -1/3 e
Mirror Structure: The down quark mirrors the up quark but with inverted polarity - a central -qCP
with NO cage layers, just a polarized qDP cloud (positive poles inward) and an orbiting emDP system providing
1/2 ℏ spin through ZBW motion. Slightly heavier than up due to inverted binding.
Down vs Up: Mirror Partners
Central Charge: Down (-qCP) vs Up (+qCP)
Cloud Polarity: Down (+ inward) vs Up (- inward)
Mass: Down (4.7 MeV) vs Up (2.2 MeV) - inverted polarity creates stronger binding

Beta Decay Mechanism
Process: d → u + e⁻ + ν̄ₑ (down → up + electron + electron antineutrino)
Neutron Decay: Free neutrons (udd) decay to protons (uud) with lifetime ~880 seconds
Mechanism: Central charge flips from -qCP to +qCP, cloud polarity reverses, electron and antineutrino emitted
