Periodic table of standard model particles: Shared three-letter code words with amino acids

The standard model (SM) in particle physics is a well-established and extensively tested theory, formulated using advanced mathematical frameworks such as gauge theory. This study presents a periodic table of SM particles as a simplified tool, without relying on such advanced mathematics. Each SM particle is assigned a number in the table, analogous to an atom in the periodic table of elements. The decay modes of baryons and mesons were analyzed using particle inversion numbers (P-INs), defined as the binary representation of each particle's decimal number. The analysis revealed a “multiple-of-four” rule for the P-INs of baryons and mesons decay modes, enabling their classification into two groups: multiples of four and non-multiples of four. For instance, a neutron has a P-IN of 16 (a multiple of four), whereas a proton has a P-IN of 14 (not a multiple of four). The P-INs of SM particles indicate that reactions across the three generations follow analogous P-IN patterns. These numerical values introduce a new perspective based on binary numbers: the even P-IN values (0, 4, 6) and the odd codon inversion numbers (C-INs) in the genetic code (1, 3, 5) suggest a habitat segregation relationship between elementary particles and proteins, reflected in the even and odd values of their inversion numbers.
