Determines when the CCEGA cosmological bounce occurs by identifying which component of the energy density drives the modulus field. The modulus couples to the trace of the energy-momentum tensor Tᵐuₘu = -rho + 3P, which vanishes for radiation but is non-zero for massive matter. In QCD, this trace is controlled by the chiral condensate, which forms at TQCD ≃ 154 MeV. Remarkably, the total energy density at TQCD is rhoₜotal ≃ 1. 25*rhoc — within the bag model uncertainty. The two thresholds coincide: the bounce occurs at Tbounce ≃ TQCD ≃ 154 MeV. This is falsifiable by ALICE and RHIC. The bounce imprints on CMB multipoles ell ≲ 10, consistent with the observed quadrupole suppression. CCEGA now unifies four gravitational phenomena under a single QCD energy scale, with zero free parameters.
