This record contains the manuscript "Continuum Translation of the QED Lagrangians" alongside its standalone, machine-checked Lean 4 / Mathlib formal verification module (QEDTranslation.lean). This work demonstrates across ten benchmark observables that the evaluations of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) are reproduced by classical continuum mechanics in pure kg, m, s units (without auxiliary electrical dimensions C, F), achieving nine-significant-figure numerical parity across the eight single-particle and electroweak benchmarks and 0.004%--0.34% agreement across the multi-body atomic and hadronic confinement regimes. Every QED and Standard Model operator admits a direct continuum equivalent built from classical machinery established a generation or more prior: Dirac Bi-Spinor (ψ) Cartan moving frame (tetrad êᵢ) tracking a cavitated Kelvin vortex core (4π untangling stator); Scalar Bilinear (ψ̄ψ) Inverse Stokes added-mass displacement volume (1/Vadded = 2/V_τ, with Cₘ = 1/2); Linear Kinetic Operator (i c\,γ^μ∂_μψ) Rotational Clebsch vorticity (∇ × (λ∇β_Ω)); Rest-Mass Term (-mc²ψ̄ψ) Cauchy core yield stress (-Pc = -1/2ρ_τ c²) and coordinate bag stress (-Pbag); Gauge Covariant Derivative (D_μ = ∂_μ + iq/_μ) Eulerian velocity superposition (vₜₒₜ = v_ + v_⊥); QED Interaction Vertex (-qcψ̄γ^μψ A_μ) Acoustic Magnus cross-pressure (ρ_τ\,v_ · v_⊥); Maxwell Field Invariant (-1/4μ₀FμνFμν) Antisymmetric shear strain invariant (-1/4Pc AμνAμν); Fine-Structure Constant (α) Viscoelastic shear-to-bulk modulus ratio (Πₛₕₑₐᵣ / Pc = μₛ / K = vₛ² / c²).
