Semi-Empirical Neutrino and Quark Mixing Angle Broken 4-Color Geometric Symmetry

Two semi-empirical ideas are guiding the present research: 1) one neutrino and N color quark triple mixing angles have second physical meaning of vector direction angles in euclidean 3-space, and 2) the difference between neutrino and quark mixing in the SM weak interactions is mostly conditioned by known fundamental difference of these particles by numbers of color degree of freedom. As main physical inference, the elementary particle mixing angles obey a novel phenomenological quark-neutrino (N+1)-color and 3 mixing angle symmetric positive definite quadratic Pythagorean equation in terms of double mixing angles. This equation predicts immediately that two large solar and atmospheric angles must be accompanied by one small not zero theta-13 neutrino angle in convincing agreement with recent new theta-13 experimental data. Benchmark flavor mixing pattern - united bimaximal neutrino and zero quark ones

• follows from solutions of the primary equation without free parameters. Agreement with known experimental data follows only when the number of quark colors is equal to the number of particle flavors, N = 3. Together with closely related to the fine structure constant one empirical small parameter, that benchmark pattern determines realistic quark and neutrino mixing angles in good agreement with data and especially accurate for quark Cabibbo and neutrino solar angles. Coming accurate neutrino mixing angle data are important for testing the Pythagorean equation.
