This paper introduces the Universal Coherence Framework (UCF), a novel, parameter-free methodology for predicting particle masses from first principles. It integrates four core principles—modular closure, fractal self-similarity (φ = 2.618), Noether validation, and global coherence—to derive all Standard Model masses with ≤1% precision.

Key Contributions

• Resolves the fermion mass hierarchy without free parameters
• Predicts the Weinberg angle with a relative error of just 0.0086%
• Demonstrates coherence across physical sectors using an 8×8 matrix
• Validates predictions against PDG 2024 data and outlines falsifiability criteria

Experimental Outlook The framework sets clear experimental benchmarks for validation, including neutrino mass measurements and dark matter searches between 2025–2027.

Implications UCF offers a rigorous foundation for exploring beyond-Standard Model physics, dark matter, and the unification of fundamental forces.
