Extending the minimal standard model of particle interactions (without right-handed singlet neutrinos) to include a heavy scalar triplet ξ to obtain nonzero Majorana neutrino masses, I derive the following simple realistic connection between atmospheric and solar neutrino vacuum oscillations: (Δm2)sol(Δm2)atm/mν4(sin22θ)atm = 2I2, where mν is the assumed common approximate mass of each neutrino (which may be suitable for hot dark matter) and I = (3/16π2)(GF/2)mτ2ln(mξ2/mW2) comes from the radiative splitting of the degeneracy due to the charged leptons.
