In the GEM unification theory ( Brandenburg 2007) a deep connection is found between alpha, the fine structure constant, and the proton/electron mass ratio. This is understood since the Wyler-Lenz formula (Wyler 1971) for alpha and the Wyler-Lenz proton/electron mass ratio formula can be hueristically derived by the assumption Planckian spectra in the proton and in the vacuum. It is found that the mass ratio Wyler-Lenz formula 6Pi^5 = mp/me =1836.15 can be found simply from a model of protons and electrons as equal sized spheres of 1.4fm with electrons being electrostatic and protons being filled with three Planckian EM radiation fields , each representing a quark, of approximate temperature of the neutral pion rest mass. Likewise, the Wyler Formula written as alpha^-1=(80/3Pi)( 2Pi^5/15)^3/4 =137.036 can be derived from the probability of an electron absorbing and emitting a photon as a miniature cubic black body equated to it being also as a miniature perfectly conducting cube of the same surface area.

Summary
Wlyler has been vindicated is his contention that two of the fundamental constants of nature can be understood approximately as a result of underlying the mathematical structure of EM interactions with matter. Both the Wyler formulas are, in fact, rationalized forms of the Stefan-Boltzman constant , describing integrals over Planckian EM fields. The Wyler-Lenz formula for the proton electron mass ratio can be approximately derived by assuming that the quark-gluon fields inside of the proton form three independent Planck spectra with temperatures of approxiamtely a neutral pion mass and are in a radiation enclosure of a nucleon radius which is approximately 1.4fm in radius, as is the electron electrostatic classical radius. Alpha is found as the ratio of relectance of a cubic black body to a perfectly conducting cube of the same dimensions.
