Identify a more fundamental basis to derive the 15 Standard Model masses

Identify and characterize a more fundamental structure or mechanism from which the 15 mass parameters of the Standard Model can be calculated within the proposed quaternionic reflection group framework, and develop a concrete method to use that structure to obtain mass values.

Background

Assuming the viability of a quantum gravity approach based on the quaternionic reflection group, the paper speculates that Standard Model masses might be derivable from deeper principles.

The author explicitly states that what this ‘more fundamental’ basis is and how to use it to compute masses are unclear, marking an open foundational question.

References

It is not at all clear what could be 'more fundamental', or how it could be used, so that this is at present a highly speculative idea.
