To calculate the t-quark constituent mass, let the First Generation Fermions correspond to octonions { 1, i, j, k, e, ie, je, ke } as follows:

and let the Third Generation Fermions correspond to the 8^3 = 512 triples of octonions as follows:

1     (1,1,1)                               - tau neutrino

      (1,1,e) (1,e,1) (e,1,1)                             
7     (e,e,1) (e,1,e) (1,e,e)               - tauon       
      (e,e,e)                                             
  
      triples containing either                           
21    ie or je or ke, alone,                - rgb beauty  
      along with e and/or i, quarks                       
      but not containing i, j, or k                       
 
483   triples containing i, j, and/or k,    - rgb truth   
      or mixtures of ie, je, ke quarks

 

Then, if the tree level constituent mass mb = 5.6 GeV:

mt = (483/21) mb = 130 GeV.
