We recently classified baryonic matter in the ground and first excited states thanks to the discrete group of braids inherent to
Ising anyons. Remarkably, the braids of
anyons allow the neutrino mixing matrix to be generated with an accuracy close to measurements. This is an improvement over the model based on tribimaximal neutrino mixing, which predicts a vanishing solar neutrino angle
, which has now been ruled out. The discrete group of braids for
anyons is isomorphic to the small group
, generated by a diagonal matrix
and a symmetric complex matrix
, where the
matrices
F and
R correspond to the fusion and exchange of anyons, respectively. We make use of the Takagi decomposition
of
, where
U is the expected PMNS unitary matrix and
D is real and diagonal. We obtain agreement with the experimental results in about the
range for the complex entries of the PMNS matrix with the angles
,
,
, and
. Potential physical consequences of our model are discussed.
