Description
Mass scales introduced by dynamical symmetry breakdown (in analogy to superconductivity) lead to consistency equations which allow their determination with respect to a reference scale (Debye frequency in superconductivity). It is proposed a dynamical symmetry breakdown for a basic dilatation invariance to impose Planck's mass as the primordial reference scale and show - for the case of a simplified conformally flat situation - how the metric with the long-range gravity interactions can be interpreted to be related to a condensation phenomenon. By the logarithmic type of the arising consistency equations there is a chance to understand the hierarchical mass ratios between Planck's mass and the experimentally accessible masses (e.g. electroweak Fermi mass)
