Replaces paper #230's quantifier ('any mechanism that is not pair unity', room under one part in 10^21 beneath the unmoved floor |q_p+q_e|/e < 1x10^-21) with a priced set: the Total Science Index store's four quantization-condition routes, each priced on its own abstract's verbatim terms against three questions (discreteness? species equality? the value alpha?). hep-th/9702184 (duality/Dirac): discreteness derived given dual sources; equality not addressed; value not derived. hep-th/9703177 (loop Maxwell): lattice derived, but its unit parameter e is arbitrary and fixed by consistency with observed charge -- the value is imported. hep-th/0205250 (Riemannian gauge theory): species-wide equality of magnitude derived ('same charge of +/- q' on the fibre, from a generalised equivalence principle); q itself free. gr-qc/0207107 (Clifford residues): quantization derived topologically; no unit size in the record. Consequences printed at full size both ways: pair unity is no longer the only priced equality-deriver, and its remaining distinctness is the only floor-exposed residue prediction for a named pair; entries deriving alpha among the four routes plus pair unity: 0, #471's zero now world-checked at these addresses. Quantum gravity NOT SOLVED; vacuum catastrophe NOT SOLVED.
