The framed standard model (FSM) predicts a 0 + boson with mass around 20 MeV in the "hidden sector", which mixes at tree level with the standard Higgs h W and hence acquires small couplings to quarks and leptons which can be calculated in the FSM apart from the mixing parameter ρ U h . The exchange of this mixed state U will contribute to g − 2 and to the Lamb shift. By adjusting ρ U h alone, it is found that the FSM can satisfy all present experimental bounds on the g − 2 and Lamb shift anomalies for µ and e, and for the latter for both hydrogen and deuterium.The FSM predicts also a 1 − boson in the "hidden sector" with a mass of 17 MeV, that is, right on top of the Atomki anomaly X. This mixes with the photon at 1-loop level and couples thereby like a dark photon to quarks and leptons. It is however a compound state and is thought likely to possess additional compound couplings to hadrons. By adjusting the mixing parameter and the X's compound coupling to nucleons, the FSM can reproduce the 1 production rate of the X in beryllium decay as well as satisfy all the bounds on X listed so far in the literature.The above two results are consistent in that the U , being 0 + , does not contribute to the Atomki anomaly if parity and angular momentum are conserved, while X, though contributing to g − 2 and Lamb shift, has smaller couplings than U and can, at first instance, be neglected there.Thus, despite the tentative nature of the 3 anomalies in experiment on the one hand and of the FSM as theory on the other, the accommodation of the former in the latter has strengthened the credibility of both. Indeed, if this FSM interpretation were correct, it would change the whole aspect of the anomalies from just curiosities to windows into a vast hitherto hidden sector comprising at least in part the dark matter which makes up the bulk of our universe.The results [A] and [B] lack statistical significance while [C] needs to be independently confirmed. But if they are real, then the consequence is highly significant, being suggestive of new physics outside the standard model framework.It has been suggested that [A] and [B] are explainable by a new scalar boson (say U ) of low mass while [C] points to a new (perhaps spin 1) boson (say X) of mass around 17 MeV. The fact that the effects [A]-[C] are all small and no hints of U and X are seen anywhere else means that these new bosons must have rather unusual properties and small couplings to ordinary matter. The question is then raised as to the theoretical origin of these particles U and X which would lie outside the standard model framework. Are they just isolated phenomena or is there a whole new class of particles hitherto unknown to us which interact but little with the particles we know, and of which both U and X are but examples as tips of an iceberg?To address these questions in general terms, the framed standard model (FSM) seems rather well placed. It predicts, among other things, a cluster of boson states, some scalars H light and some vectors G light , all with masses ar...
