The scalar glueball mass in AdS/QCD has resisted accurate prediction for two decades, with the AdS. 5 pure result M ≈ 1. 29 GeV deviating by 40% from Lattice QCD M ≈ 2. 2 ± 0. 1 GeV. We demonstrate that the Born-Scattering Field Theory (BSFT) 3D holographic projection, with zero free parameters, resolves this discrepancy. Using the universal tachyon potential constant CBSFT = 2. 076 ± 0. 030 fixed from the Higgs sector 2, the 3D projection Δ₃D = ΔAdS + 3CBSFT = 7. 60 ± 0. 09 yields M (0^++) = 2. 084 ± 0. 017 GeV, agreeing with Lattice QCD at 1. 1σ. The dimensionless ratio M/m_ρ = 2. 69 ± 0. 02 matches Lattice 2. 62 ± 0. 06 at 1. 1σ and is identical to our previous BSFT calculation 3. This demonstrates that the same holographic mechanism underlying the Higgs mass also governs Yang-Mills confinement, providing a unified BSFT description of the Standard Model.
