By analogy with the solution of the classical physics problems achieved not by an extension of the established dynamic and symmetry knowledge but by the emergence of a fundamentally new empirical physical constant h leading to quantum mechanics, I address in this paper the known basic problems of lepton mass ratios, neutrino type and electroweak charges in terms of an emerging new dimensionless flavor-electroweak physical constant of a new sort. A special value of that new universal constant is suggested av0 = exp(-5). Like the Plank constant h, initially closely related to suggested discrete radiation energy, the new constant ao is related here to the problem of discrete electric charge. With known data, it is observed that the constant ao determines the mass ratios of charged leptons, the mass ratios and absolute mass scale and oscillation mass squared differences of quasidegenerate neutrinos on the one hand, and the low energy fine structure constant and the second electroweak constant on the other hand. I gathered, organized and commented here an interesting system of primary observations made on particle mass and electroweak experimental data. As a result, the new physical constant ao describes a fundamental aspect of low energy phenomenology uniting the electroweak theory with the necessary idea of anthropic selection of the free interaction constant values and particle flavor freedom mass values.
