Sheesh ! What do you want ? Blood ?
LOL ! no, it doesn't make any predictions about the elementary particle masses. It's not, and doesn't claim to be, a theory of everything. It's purely a way of quantizing the gravitational field at this stage. I think there has been some preliminary thought on how to put "matter" into the theory, but I haven't got to that bit yet. After I get to the end of describing the formalism, I'll summarise what I understand to be the main results so far.
And no, not a fractional dimension theory.
