Paper 32 does not claim that full continuum QED or the physical fine-structure constant have already been derived on a graph. It does show that a deterministic QGEFT ripple benchmark on a `10 x 10` vacuum lattice can support a weak but explicit attraction surrogate: a baseline nucleus-electron distance of `18` contracts to `17. 999810`, the best binding-energy reduction reaches ` E 0. 000011`, and the interacting defects remain positively synchronized throughout the benchmark with coherence fraction `1. 0000`.
