Abstract: We construct a strict, renormalization-group invariant topological mechanism enforcing a strictly positive mass gap in non-abelian Yang–Mills theory. By introducing the MD₂ operator within the Artsybashev Applied Method (AAM-V1), we map the Hodge harmonic subspace of gauge fields into a fractal polyoid subspace. The spectral radius of the orthogonal polyoid projector is rigorously derived via Gelfand–Yaglom compression, yielding a universal invariant φ = e⁻¹. Through an isometric embedding into the physical Hilbert space, this topological invariant imposes a strictly positive lower bound on the Yang–Mills Hamiltonian quadratic form (ΔYM = Cφ > 0). We demonstrate that the polyoid projector commutes with the Callan–Symanzik operator, R_μ, Πₚol = 0, ensuring the persistence of the mass gap in the ultraviolet limit independently of asymptotic freedom. Furthermore, we extend this framework via the Toroidal Form-Energy Framework (TFEF v2. 1) to construct a 1D→3D topological transition, providing a geometrically stable projection for the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function and constructive representatives for algebraic cycles in the Hodge Conjecture. Status of Results & AI Integration: All lemmas are proved within constructive functional analysis and operator algebra. No probabilistic, heuristic, or numerical assumptions are used for the core theorems. The methodology establishes a rigorous pathway replacing dynamical confinement heuristics with exact topological invariants.
