A New Published Koide Triple Paper

Arivero at the Physics Forums (who comments here from time to time) has gotten his article on Koide Triples published:

I had put in a preprint some calculations of Koide masses using the original composite idea and they have happened to be published as Eur. Phys. J. C 84, 1058 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-024-13368-3, so as a collateral effect we now have another published paper that mentions:

• the waterfall, in a footnote.
• the tuples (0ds), (scb) and (cbt).
• the relation sum(scb) = 3 sum (leptons).

It is nice to see this promising line of inquiry advanced. The preprint linked and its abstract are as follows:

We propose an interpretation for the adjoint representation of the SO(32) group to classify the scalars of a generic Supersymmetric Standard Model having just three generations of particles, via a flavour group SU(5). 

We show that this same interpretation arises from a simple postulate of self-consistence of composites for these scalars. The model looks only for colour and electric charge, and it pays the cost of an additional chiral +4/3 quark per generation.

Bonus: The article contains a cute "Turtles All The Way Down" illustration, which we here on Turtle Island, appreciate.
