Charge to mass ratio is a funny thing

In the proton that value is about 10^6,  in the electron it is about 10^11, a 10^5 ratio.  But the mass ratio between the two is about 10^3.  If Compton spectrum is a result of charge imbalance, then the Compton match with the electron is way off. A curious thing.

The charge reported for the quarks is based on conservation of charge between them and the electron, but they call it the valence charge.  What is the difference in charge to mass between the quarks? They could all have much larger charge to mass between them as long as they balanced to zero.  If that were the case, then the actual Compton match among all three would be realigned with mass ratios. I think something might be missing.

Quantum chromodynamics they call is, but what is it if not a phase shift? And yes, indeed they do call it charge, otherwise known as phase shift. So, all is well, they just do not use the term charge to mass ratio.
