Quantum Traction Theory (QTT) gives three parameter-free number-locks from one substrate ledger, with distinct epistemic statuses stated explicitly. Lock 1 (neutrino, value-level derivation): R_ν = Δm²₃₁/Δm²₂₁ = 4π² cos² (π/8) = 33. 69694. . . , derived from A1+A4+A7, matching NuFIT 6. 0 at 0. 16σ. Lock 2 (baryon, parameter-free given the framework prior T₀ = 15. 4 Gyr): 18·Ωb· (H·T₀) ² = 1; equivalently ωbQTT = 18· (100 km/s/Mpc · T₀) ²⁻¹ = 0. 022397, matching Planck 2018+lensing ωb = 0. 02237 ± 0. 00015 at 0. 18σ. Lock 3 (Hubble branch, parameter-free given the A3/A7 branch-saturation principle): Hₗate/Hₑarly = sec (π/8) = 1. 0824. . . , following from Fₗate·Nₗate = cos (π/8) ·Fₑarly·Nₑarly. Using Hₑarly = 67. 4 km/s/Mpc, QTT predicts Hₗate = 72. 95 km/s/Mpc, matching SH0ES 73. 04 ± 1. 04 at 0. 08σ. No continuous coefficient is fitted in any of the three locks; they share substrate (A1, A6, A7), not numerical machinery. The bare time-tilt projection gives the homogeneous-branch lab cosmic age t₀^ (bg) = cos (π/8) ·T₀ = 14. 23 Gyr; including A3 time drift, t₀^ (lab) = cos (π/8 + δₑff) · T₀ recovers the observed ΛCDM-pipeline value 13. 80 Gyr with δₑff ≈ 3. 87° matching the companion drift integral. The same mechanism predicts qₗab (z) → 0 asymptotically rather than ΛCDM's q → -1 de Sitter limit. Falsifiers (dated): JUNO/DUNE departure of R_ν from 33. 69694; pipeline-consistent (H₀, Ωb) violating the branch-covariant invariant; or anchor pairs failing to approach sec (π/8) at Δχ² ≥ 9.
