%X Reliable observations find only three neutrino mass eigenstates, oscillating between each other as neutrinos travel through space, and limit the sum of the three neutrino masses. At a minimum, any reliable description of neutrinos must allow only three neutrino mass eigenstates and predict a neutrino mass sum consistent with observations. This paper describes neutrinos as spheres, with radius one quarter of their Compton wavelength and thickness of the Planck length, surrounding a central core along their rotation axis, with diameter of the Planck length. This description of neutrinos as excitations of the vacuum energy allows only three neutrino mass eigenstates and predicts a neutrino mass sum consistent with observations.
