This version supersedes V1.8.1 (10.5281/zenodo.20367337) which contained a factor-of-2 error in the black hole shadow prediction. Corrections in V1.8.2:1. Shadow enhancement corrected: η = 1.06066 → η = 1.03033, now consistent with 10.5281/zenodo.204033352. Withdrawn models: Reductive Zero, Isotope Bank, Cosmic Erosion Law removed3. Added Lagrangian formulation in Chapter 24. All cosmological predictions derived from Φ₀ ≡ 6/5 ζ(3) - 1 with zero free parameters Do not cite or use V1.8.1. This version is fully consistent with companion papers 10.5281/zenodo.20403335, 10.5281/zenodo.20403827, and 10.5281/zenodo.20404510.
