Table 1 shows the cause of the Fine Structure Constant (which, at present, is considered to be dimensionless); but the CLF model shows that it is the ratio of the surface forces. The difference between experimental value and CLF predicted value is probably due to a difference between the mass values of the experimental and predicted particles.
