In this paper, the submicroscopic deterministic concept developed by the authoris applied to the problem of the neutrino mass. A particle appears from spaceconsidered as a mathematical lattice of primary topological balls, and induces adeformation coat in its surrounding. The principles of the interaction of particleswith space and through space between themselves are considered in detail. Theapproach states that real quarks possess only an integer charge (±e) and whenmoving they periodically change to the monopole state (⇄g) and hence, canonicalparticles are dynamic dyons. A neutrino emerges as a squeezed quark when it isin a monopole state, or in other words, the quark monopole state (a bubble in thetessellattice) is transferred to the appropriate lepton monopole state (a speck in thetessellattice). The self-mass (a ‘rest’ mass) for each neutrino flavour is calculated.The calculated value of the self-mass for the electron anti-neutrino is 1.222874 × 10^{−36} kg = 0.69893 eV/c^2. The concept of neutrino oscillations is revised, and another postulation is proposed, namely, that the transition from lighter to heavier flavours is due to the inelastic scattering of neutrinos on oncoming scatterers. As a result, the neutrino captures the mass defect, becomes heavier, and therefore the transitions ν_e → ν_µ and ν_µ → ν_τ occur; thus, the number of light neutrinos decreases in the neutrino flux studied.
