Independent verification that the face adjacency Laplacian of the truncated octahedron has spectrum Spec (L) = 0¹, ( (9−√17) /2) ³, 4², ( (9+√17) /2) ³, 7⁴, 9¹ with characteristic polynomial p (λ) = λ (λ²−9λ+16) ³ (λ−4) ² (λ−7) ⁴ (λ−9). Verified numerically (numpy, max deviation 4. 44×10⁻¹⁵) and symbolically (sympy, polynomial identity = True). The √17 is confirmed exact. This result underlies all UFFT predictions depending on √17 — solar neutrino mixing, Higgs/Z mass ratio, PMNS angles. Includes Jupyter notebook and standalone Python script. Dependencies: numpy, sympy only. Runtime: < 30 seconds.
