This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
After electroweak symmetry breaking, Yukawa matrices times the Higgs vacuum expectation value determine charged-fermion mass matrices. Minimal Standard Model neutrinos remain massless.
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
