Abstract: Current experimental data indicate that the spectra of “bright” masses shouldn’t be anarchical. We conjecture that the S(3) flavor permutation symmetry and its breaking might provide a simple way to understand the wide mass gaps between top, bottom, tau and their lighter counterparts, the narrow gaps of three neutrino masses, the smallness of three quark mixing angles, and the largeness of two lepton mixing angles. Could one stone really kill four birds?
