Audit process confirms finite-resolution termination leads to unique minimal depth, implying structure in constants.
This record contains the main paper, the audit supplement, and the reference implementation for Alpha Locking v6. Alpha Locking v6 establishes that a finite-resolution update structure cannot terminate at an arbitrary depth. Under purely discrete, non-optimizing accept/reject predicates, the update depth is forced to terminate at a unique minimal admissible value, leaving a residual dimensionless constant. No fitting, tuning, optimization, or empirical input is used.The fine-structure constant appears solely as a structural residue of finite-resolution termination. The Supplement specifies a complete audit procedure.The attached Python code performs a finite, explicit enumeration and verifies the singleton admissible depth condition. This work completes the one-way trilogy:MOF v3 → PFC v4 → Alpha Locking v6.
