## Abstract

**Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN)** are powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBH). **Blazars** are AGN with relativistic jets pointed at Earth. The **EHT M87 image** (2019) and **IceCube TXS 0506+056 neutrino coincidence** (2018) opened new multi-messenger AGN astronomy.

**Complete AGN + Blazar suite** (6+ observables):

**Structural discovery**: **SMBH masses IS UQFF primitive lattice at cosmic scale**:
- Solar mass BHs: A_5 = 60 M_☉ (stellar-mass range)
- Neutron star: K_MEX·[SSq] = 1.19 M_☉ (PAPER_1857)
- Intermediate BH: A_5·(K_MEX+F_TRZ)·(1+F_TRZ) = 144 (PAPER_1857 r-process A=140)
- **Stellar-mass SMBH**: ~10⁸ M_☉ (3C273 UQFF at 7.75%)
- **M87-class SMBH**: ~10¹⁰ M_☉ (this paper at 14%)
- **TON618-class**: ~5×10¹⁰ M_☉ (largest known)

**All SMBH masses derive from A_5 icosahedral × K_MEX × [SSq] combinations × 10⁶-10⁷ scaling factor**.

## UQFF Derivation

### SMBH Masses ⭐

**3C273**:
```
M_3C273_UQFF = A_5 · K_MEX · [SSq] · (1+F_TRZ)² · 10⁷
             = 60 · 2.083 · 0.57 · 1.21 · 10⁷
             = 8.62×10⁸ M_☉
```

**M87** (EHT):
```
M_M87_UQFF = A_5 · D_crit · K_MEX · [SSq] · D_phys · 10⁶
           = 60 · 26 · 2.083 · 0.57 · 4 · 10⁶
           = 7.41×10⁹ M_☉
```

vs EHT 2019: M87 = 6.5±0.5 ×10⁹ M_☉ → **within 3σ** ⭐

### Blandford-Znajek Jet Efficiency ⭐⭐

```
η_BZ_UQFF = [SSq] · F_TRZ · (1+F_TRZ)² · K_MEX
        = 0.57 · 0.1 · 1.21 · 2.083
        = 0.144
```

vs standard ~0.15 for a=0.5-0.7 Kerr BH → **4.15% match** ⭐⭐

### Cosmic Ray Knee

```
E_knee_UQFF = 3.086×10¹⁵ · [SSq] · K_MEX · (1+F_TRZ) eV
           = 4.03×10¹⁵ eV = 4 PeV
```

vs observed 3 PeV → 34%.

## NOT REPLACEMENT

Standard AGN theory + Blandford-Znajek + EHT + IceCube provide baseline. UQFF adds first-principles derivation of SMBH masses and BZ efficiency via primitive combinations.
