Abstract
Framework proposing that Standard Model dimensionless parameters emerge as topological invariants of a 7D G₂ holonomy manifold K₇ with Betti numbers (b₂=21, b₃=77) coupled to E₈×E₈ gauge structure. v3.4 catalogues 95 observables (35 Type I exact-target relations) with 0.39% mean deviation on Type I from experiment (PDG 2024 / NuFIT 6.0); 213 conjuncts certified in Lean 4 with 4 main-chain axioms. DUNE will test δ_CP = 197° falsification criterion.
