Rishon "I" Frame

The question arises as to what were to happen if other Rishon particles were placed into an I-shaped frame, applying the same rule that the ends of the middle particle attract the middle of the end particles to create a stable rotating whole. Placing the Laws governing Rishons and the I-Frame rules into a small http://lkcl.net/reports/rishon_model/quark_matrix.pypython script the possible patterns can easily generated, as shown in Table 1:

udu (['TVT', 'VTV', 'TVT']) t:   1 v:   0
udv (['TVT', 'VTV', 'VVV']) t: 1/3 v: 2/3
uvv (['TVT', 'VVV', 'VVV']) t: 2/3 v: 1/3
udu (['TVT', 'VTV', 'TVT']) t:  -1 v:   0
udv (['TVT', 'VTV', 'VVV']) t:-1/3 v:-2/3
uvv (['TVT', 'VVV', 'VVV']) t:-2/3 v:-1/3
dud (['VTV', 'TVT', 'VTV']) t:   0 v:  -1
due (['VTV', 'TVT', 'TTT']) t:-2/3 v:-1/3
dee (['VTV', 'TTT', 'TTT']) t:-1/3 v:-2/3
dud (['VTV', 'TVT', 'VTV']) t:   0 v:   1
due (['VTV', 'TVT', 'TTT']) t: 2/3 v: 1/3
dee (['VTV', 'TTT', 'TTT']) t: 1/3 v: 2/3
eee (['TTT', 'TTT', 'TTT']) t:  -1 v:   0
eee (['TTT', 'TTT', 'TTT']) t:   1 v:   0
vvv (['VVV', 'VVV', 'VVV']) t:   0 v:   1
vvv (['VVV', 'VVV', 'VVV']) t:   0 v:  -1

Table 1: permutations of all legitimate I-Frame Rishon particles

Dividing these down into clearly-distinguishable groups, exactly half the particles are of unit charge and exactly half are fractionally-charged. Categorising further we note that "udu" and "dud" and their corresponding anti-particles are the neutron and proton respectively. Two remaining unit-charge particles (and their anti-particles) then stand out:

muon        : eee (['TTT', 'TTT', 'TTT']) t:  -1 v:   0
muon-neut'o : vvv (['VVV', 'VVV', 'VVV']) t:   0 v:   1

These particles have unit charges and are comprised of electron-positron and neutrino-anti-neutrino triplets. The neutrino-anti-neutrino triplet is surmised to be a flavour of neutrino (muon neutrino), and likewise the electron-positron triplet a muon. Initial analysis had these hard to pin down. A potential candidate came up when searching for "heavy electron": a paper mentioning <a href="http://phys.org/news136648330.html">Superconductivity and heavy electrons"</a>. However a decay pattern was noted involving pions (see examples later) where the electron-positron and neutrino-anti-neutrino triplets were the clear candidates when considered at the Rishon level: further investigation showed this to be the muon. (There was one other candidate found: the tau, which is investigated later). It is worth noting that if these heavy neutrinos existed, their fundamental composition (being in effect made out of particle-anti-particle triplets) would make neutrino oscillation very easy to occur. The exchange of only one particle between a heavier neutrino and its anti-particle would, at the Rishon level, automatically result in the transition). So if the combination of two neutrinos and one anti-neutrino is considered to be a heavy neutrino (muon neutrino) its composition consisting of neutrinos starts to shed some light on why neutrino oscillation occurs.

This leaves the remaining four particles (with corresponding anti-particles) to identify, which are grouped together with fractional charges. The inference which leads to the derivation of these as strange, charm and bottom will be explained below:

    strange      : dee (['VTV', 'TTT', 'TTT']) t:-1/3 v:-2/3
    charm        : due (['VTV', 'TVT', 'TTT']) t: 2/3 v: 1/3
    bottom       : udv (['TVT', 'VTV', 'VVV']) t:-1/3 v:-2/3
    unidentified : uvv (['TVT', 'VVV', 'VVV']) t: 2/3 v: 1/3

Two particles here are noteworthy: strange and the unidentified quark, in that they are merely down and up particles with matter-antimatter electrons and neutrinos in the remaining I-frame places, resulting in additional mass, perfect balance as well as overall charge conservation.
