Q6a Gauge Structure

Surviving fixed-point proposals and the open colour factor

Current status

Q6a organises gauge structure through equivalence classes of the non-injective projection and proposes $\mathrm{U}(1)$ and $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ as admissibility fixed points. The representation-theoretic bridge must be read with the carrier and factorisation assumptions stated in the corrective O27 chain.

Full-group claim withdrawn. Q6a’s former identification of $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ and $G_{\mathrm{SM}}=\mathrm{SU}(3)\times\mathrm{SU}(2)\times\mathrm{U}(1)$ relied on O31. O31 version 2.0 withdraws that support. The colour factor, commutation, direct-product structure and complete gauge group are open.

What remains

What is open

No valid result in this chain selects $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ from colour-triplet data or proves that three sectorwise symmetries commute and form the Standard Model direct product. Numerical patterns from O32 do not repair the missing identification theorem.
