Again, as when this basic thread was posted a couple of days ago, the mass of us out here wallowing in gross ignorance have little idea of what this all means to us and our world. Could you bring this new hypothesis down to earth for us?

You are missing the other muon decay modes.

One problem I have with it are that all the force carriers are normally bosons, yet the neutrino is a fermion.
The force that binds the H atom is electromagnetism. What is your corresponding force involving the neutrino?

While I appreciate the model, it is not really a correct analogy to excited states of hydrogen.
The Hydrogen atom is a bound state of an electron and proton. When it is in an excited state, the electron is in a higher quantum state and can decay radiatively emitting a photon... the photon leaves the system, it does not bind the electron to the nucleus.
leptons have not been shown to exist in excited states on their own, and if as you present, the model you claim that leptons are in some manner bound preons... This appears logically not the same since if you say that a lepton is a bound state of two preons then once it decays, you get
A nu B (muon) goes to A nu B (electron) + nu in the claim that the switch is basically just the neutrino.
What actually happens in these events is that the muon decays and you produce a electron, muon neutrino and electron neutrino. They are of distinctive flavour.
Also to claim the neutrino travels through material because its weakly interacting similar to photons through glass is also misleading given that the process is completely governed by atomic physics in a molecular system... neutrinos in this case should thus interact with different materials dependant upon how the leptons are bound... bearing in mind that by your own mechanism, the leptons themselves now are flavoured as excited states rather than leptons in their own right.
This does not simplify things.
There are also 3 known decay modes and 4 forbidden modes with very low probability.
