Demonstrates a fixed dark-to-baryon ratio in the universe, suggesting a fundamental structure behind dark matter abundance.
One axiom. One operation. Zero free parameters. The universe has about 5.4 times as much dark matter as ordinary matter. In the standard picture this is a freeze-out accident depending on a free cross-section (the WIMP miracle). This paper forces it. The dark-to-baryon ratio is not a thermal coincidence; it is a covering ratio fixed before any dynamics: Ω_dm/Ω_b = c³/d_down = 27/5 = 5.4, and the dark fraction Ω_dm/Ω_m = c³/2^d_down = 27/32, with colour c=3 and down covering depth 5. The amount of dark matter is the generational volume 27 over the covering depth 5 — a counted number, not a relic of a cross-section. The dark matter itself is the lightest neutral bound state of the prime-5/7 sectors, so its abundance and identity are fixed by the same structure. The order-one coincidence dissolves because 27/5 is a ratio of small counts, not a delicate balance of exponential rates. Machine-checked; reproduces from one command.
