The suggestion is based on a scheme proposed and tested earlier for explaining the mixing pattern and mass hierarchy of fermions in terms of a rotating mass matrix. If confirmed, the effects would cast new light on the geometric origin of fermion generations and of the Higgs field itself. %R 10.1140/epjc/s10052-009-1186-9 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0908.1750 %U https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-009-1186-9 %P 537-542
