Physics Literature Regarding Theoretical Post-Diction Of SM Constants

This page is a convenience sample of physics papers suggesting causes for the values of the Standard Model of Particle Physics' experimentally measured constants, which I update from time to time. They are listed in order of publication from most recent to oldest. I do not render any opinion on the merits of these proposals.
