Abstract
Following the successful prediction of an exact value for the fine structure constant later confirmed to differ numerically from the centre value of the latest experimental recommended CODATA range by 10^{-12}, further analysis and predictions of exact values for two other quantum coupling constants, the strong and the electroweak, are given. The method employed to obtain these theoretical values depends on the conjecture that measured values of a fundamental set of quantum coupling constants approximate to exact values that can be found in a specific set C_Q of numerical values which has a countable number of elements. The letter C and its subscript Q stand for coupling and quantum respectively. A full definition of this set are given in the body of this paper. Questions of how this conjecture might be validated from the theoretical and measurement point of view and the identification of those elements of C_Q which have values of definite physical significance constitute the subject matter of this paper.
