This paper presents the Cosmic Braid Hypothesis, an independent theoretical framework proposing that the fundamental constituents of the universe are 1D filaments organized as a Hopf fibration over S³. Particle properties — mass, electric charge, spin, and color charge — emerge from six geometric and topological parameters without additional postulates. The framework reproduces, without free parameters, the Hubble constant H₀ = 67. 3 km/s/Mpc (obs: 67. 4 ± 0. 5), the cosmological density parameters Ωₘ = 0. 315 and Ω_Λ = 0. 685, and the lepton mass ratios m_μ/mₑ = 207 (obs: 206. 8) and m_τ/m_μ = 16. 8 (obs: 16. 8). The flatness of the universe follows topologically from the global geometry without fine-tuning. Coupling constants and gravitational constant remain underivable within the framework, interpreted as contingent outcomes of a symmetry-breaking process from a more abstract configuration space. A decisive observational test is proposed: a correlation between galactic chirality and the CMB dipole direction, detectable within 2–3 years using existing public data.
