Instead of treating the alpha mismatch as a tuning problem, we prove that the shape factor (bulk-to-gradient ratio) is maximized only for the spherical configuration, forcing the toroidal ratio to be smaller. -/ noncomputable section namespace QFD open QFD.Physics /-- **The Alpha Gap Mechanism.** Let `F_nuc` be the spherical form factor and `F_elec` the toroidal one. Applying the isoperimetric inequality plus the strict-equality axiom shows `F_elec < F_nuc`: the geometry alone enforces a smaller ratio for the electron, explaining why the measured `α⁻¹` (≈137) is lower than the nuclear `α⁻¹` prediction (≈174). -/ theorem topology_shifts_coupling (P : QFD.Physics.Model) : let F_nuc := shape_factor P.spherical_ground_state let F_elec := shape_factor P.toroidal_vortex F_elec < F_nuc := by intro F_nuc F_elec have h_le : shape_factor P.toroidal_vortex ≤ shape_factor P.spherical_ground_state := P.isoperimetric_field_inequality P.toroidal_vortex have h_ne : shape_factor P.toroidal_vortex ≠ shape_factor P.spherical_ground_state := P.toroidal_vs_spherical_strict exact lt_of_le_of_ne h_le h_ne /-- Required correction factor: the ratio of toroidal to spherical shape factor.
