Predicting the Masses three volume set utilizes a new Grand Unification Theory to predict the masses of "elementary" particles from first principles according to a Neils Bohr style of energy calculations with circular orbits of particle sub-particles. In this model electrinos are employed instead of quarks. This volume (Volume 1, Introducing Chonomics) starts with the most basic introductory concepts of the new science chonomics and derives from first principles the masses of all "elementary" particles except mesons and baryons. Volume 2 calculates the masses of mesons, and Volume 3 calculates the masses of baryons. This Volume 1 derives a roadmap for the calculating from first principles of any "elementary" particle the masses of that particle, a feat in its own right.
