S288: Gauge coupling closure from UQFF primitives only
========================================================================

Locked primitives:
  F_TRZ=0.1  SSq=0.57  Phi_res=0.8333  K_Mex=2.0833
  D_phys=4  D_BSFG=6  D_crit=26  beta_i=0.6029

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 1: Fine-structure constant alpha_EM
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Anchor:  D_total = D_crit + D_BSFG + D_phys = 26+6+4 = 36 = 6^2
  This is the SUM of all UQFF dimensional moduli below SO(5).

  Leading form:
    alpha_EM^(-1) = D_total * (D_phys - sqrt(D_phys)*F_TRZ)
                  = 36 * (4 - 2.0*0.1)
                  = 36 * 3.8000
                  = 136.8000
    obs           = 137.035999
    residual      = 0.172%

  With beta_i correction (vacuum-buoyancy second-order):
    alpha_EM^(-1) = D_total * [D_phys - sqrt(D_phys)*F_TRZ + beta_i*F_TRZ^2]
                  = 36 * 3.80603
                  = 137.0170
    obs           = 137.035999
    residual      = 0.0138%

  alpha_EM pred = 1/137.0170 = 0.0072984
  alpha_EM obs  = 1/137.035999 = 0.0072974

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2: Weinberg angle sin^2(theta_W)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Closure:
    sin^2(theta_W) = 1 / [D_phys * (1 + Phi_res * F_TRZ)]
                   = 1 / [4 * (1 + 0.8333*0.1)]
                   = 1 / [4 * 1.08333]
                   = 1 / 4.33333
                   = 0.23077
  obs (MS-bar, M_Z) = 0.23122
  residual          = 0.195%

  Cross-check  cos^2(theta_W) = 1 - sin^2(theta_W) = 0.76923
  M_W/M_Z       = cos(theta_W) = 0.87706
  obs M_W/M_Z   = 80.379/91.188 = 0.88147
  residual      = 0.500%

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 3: Strong coupling alpha_s(M_Z)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Closure:
    alpha_s(M_Z) = F_TRZ + F_TRZ^2 * (K_Mex - F_TRZ*D_phys*Phi_res)
                 = 0.1 + 0.010000000000000002 * (2.0833 - 0.1*4*0.8333)
                 = 0.1 + 0.010000000000000002 * (2.0833 - 0.3333)
                 = 0.1 + 0.0100 * 1.7500
                 = 0.11750
  obs            = 0.11790
  residual       = 0.339%

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 4: Coupling ratios and unification
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  GUT-normalized couplings at M_Z:
    alpha_1 = (5/3) * alpha_EM / cos^2(theta_W) = 0.01581  (1/alpha_1 = 63.24)
    alpha_2 =        alpha_EM / sin^2(theta_W) = 0.03163  (1/alpha_2 = 31.62)
    alpha_3 =        alpha_s(M_Z)             = 0.11750  (1/alpha_3 = 8.51)

  Ratios:
    alpha_3 / alpha_2 = 3.7153
    alpha_2 / alpha_1 = 2.0000

  SU(5) GUT tree-level sin^2(theta_W) = 3/8 = 0.375
  UQFF-predicted (running):           = 0.23077
  RG-running consistent (observed 0.23122, predicted 0.23077).

S288 SUMMARY
========================================================================
  alpha_EM^(-1)   = D_total*(D_phys - sqrt(D_phys)*F_TRZ + beta_i*F_TRZ^2)
                  = 137.017     resid = 0.0138%
  sin^2(theta_W)  = 1/[D_phys*(1 + Phi_res*F_TRZ)]
                  = 0.23077        resid = 0.195%
  alpha_s(M_Z)    = F_TRZ + F_TRZ^2*(K_Mex - F_TRZ*D_phys*Phi_res)
                  = 0.11750        resid = 0.339%
  M_W/M_Z         = cos(theta_W) = 0.87706   resid = 0.500%

  KEY STRUCTURAL IDENTITY:
    The fine-structure constant inverse is the product of
      (i)  total UQFF dimension D_total = D_crit+D_BSFG+D_phys = 36 = 6^2
      (ii) physical-dimension polynomial D_phys - sqrt(D_phys)*F_TRZ + beta_i*F_TRZ^2
    Both factors are integer- or beta_i-rational. ZERO free parameters.

    sin^2(theta_W) measures the SAME ratio that built m_H/v_EW in S287:
    D_phys is the EW backbone, Phi_res*F_TRZ is the small geometric tilt.
