Tau Lepton (τ⁻) Structure

Third-Generation Lepton | Mass: 1776.8 MeV/c² | Charge: -1 e

Double Nested Cage Lepton: The tau has a central -eCP surrounded by two nested hybrid cages: tetrahedral (4 vertices) and icosahedral (12 vertices), with a polarized eDP cloud (positive poles inward) and an orbiting eDP system outside all cages providing ½ ℏ spin through ZBW orbital motion. Like all charged leptons (e, μ, τ), the tau forms around a central electron CP instead of a quark CP.

Third Generation Lepton: 3477× Heavier Than Electron

The tau's double cage structure mirrors the charm quark but with -eCP center instead of +qCP. The icosahedral cage adds ~1.67 GeV to the mass. Short lifetime due to multiple decay channels.
