The STAR Collaboration has reported a short-range relative spin polarization of (184) % for hyperon pairs produced in proton--proton collisions at s=200, GeV. The correlation weakens for pairs separated in rapidity--azimuth space and is consistent with zero for like-hyperon pairs and spin-zero KS⁰KS⁰ controls. The measured observable is a statistical correlation between the reconstructed angular-momentum orientations of final particles. The experiment does not directly isolate the microscopic structure that carried this orientation relation during particle formation. This paper therefore treats the result as a constructive inverse problem: what organized geometry must be shared by the final particles for their orientations to remain measurably correlated? The observed effect is named the Complementary Magnetic-Geometry Correlation (CMGC). It is defined as the measurable retention of a common angular-momentum-bearing magnetic geometry by a complementary particle--antiparticle pair formed within one compatibility neighborhood. The Aether Physics Model identifies two independently established geometric measures. The complete joint orientation geometry of the Aether Unit is 16²= (4) (4), while the participating magnetic geometry of a complementary spin-bearing pair is 8=4+4. Their ratio gives the parameter-free constructive fraction P₀₌=816²=12=0. 159154943. This value corresponds to 15. 9155% and lies within the uncertainty of the reported STAR result. The quantities 8 and 16² were not introduced to reproduce the STAR central value. They were established independently in previous Quantum AetherDynamics Institute studies of particle fine structure, magnetic square-charge, Aether-unit topology, holonomy, magnetic moments, and polarization geometry. The present work recognizes that the STAR orientation observable permits these two previously quantified geometries to be compared as an active-to-complete orientation fraction. The experimentally applicable CMGC relation is written as C₂₌₆ (R) =12, Hret (R), Scmp, where R= (y) ²+ () ² is the measured rapidity--azimuth separation, Hret (R) is the retained common-geometry function, and Scmp selects complementary angular-momentum-bearing particle construction. The spin-zero control is physically decisive. The absence of an analogous signal for KS⁰KS⁰ pairs indicates that proximity alone is insufficient to produce the correlation. A net angular-momentum-bearing geometry is required to preserve and expose the orientation relation. The paper connects the CMGC hypothesis to established APM relations involving the Aether geometry ratio AᵤkC=16², the fine-structure and magnetic-charge relation ₓ=18e²{eₗ₌₀ₗ²}, particle angular momentum hₓ=mₓC²Fq, and magnetic moment ₓ^ (0) =eₗ₌₀ₗ²C²Fq. The CMGC proposal predicts more than agreement with one numerical value. It predicts a linked observational pattern: a short-range limiting amplitude near 1/ (2) for complementary spin-bearing pairs; weakening of the correlation as the common compatibility geometry is lost with increasing pair separation; suppression or absence for like-particle pair classes; absence for spin-zero controls; and comparable behavior in independent complementary particle sectors after appropriate magnetic and geometric normalization. A statistical reanalysis program is proposed to compare a free-amplitude retention model, P (R) =A, Hₑ₄ₓ (R), with the parameter-free APM model, P (R) =12Hₑ₄ₓ (R). The comparison can be evaluated using ², reduced ², corrected Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion, and independent particle-channel tests. The paper does not claim that the present STAR measurement proves the Aether Physics Model. It establishes a precise constructive hypothesis derived from previously quantified geometry and identifies the measurements capable of confirming or falsifying that hypothesis.
