In QFD, this emerges from vacuum structure. ## Key Result **Theorem**: α_n = (8/7) × β where: - β ≈ 3.043 (derived from α) (vacuum bulk modulus from Golden Loop) - 8/7 ≈ 1.1429 (geometric coupling factor) ## Numerical Validation Theoretical: α_n = (8/7) × 3.043 = 3.4951 Empirical: α_n ≈ 3.5 (from nuclear data) Error: 0.14% (< 1%) ## References - Analytical derivation: ALPHA_N_TEST.md - Vacuum parameters: QFD/Vacuum/VacuumParameters.lean - Beta from Golden Loop: goldenLoopBeta ≈ 3.043 -/ import QFD.Vacuum.VacuumParameters import Mathlib.Data.Real.Basic import Mathlib.Tactic.Linarith import Mathlib.Tactic.NormNum noncomputable section namespace QFD.Nuclear open QFD.Vacuum open Real /-! ## Nuclear Fine Structure Constant -/ /-- Geometric coupling factor for nuclear fine structure Physical interpretation: Ratio of effective to bare coupling in nuclear medium.
