We present a structural interpretation of the Higgs boson within the Theory of Structural Articulation (TSA). In this framework, mass is not a field parameter but an integral measure of excess structural load of the vacuum structure caused by stable articulation defects. The Higgs boson appears as a scalar excitation marking the stabilization of the vacuum rather than as the source of mass. The Higgs mass is derived statically from structural constraints and is shown to agree with LHC measurements without parameter fitting. The Standard Model Higgs mechanism is recovered as a phenomenological limit of a more general structural process.
