Book IV — Categorical Microcosm Part 2Chapter The Electron Mass Prediction
The leading-order anomalous magnetic moment arises from the single-winding vertex correction on the lemniscate boundary L = S^1 S^1 : a_e^(2) = α2π = (121/225) ιτ^42π ≈ 0.001 161 4. The factor 1/(2π) is the L-holonomy normalization: a single-winding mode on S^1 ⊂ L contributes a vertex correction weighted by the holonomy integral _S^1 dθ/(2π) = 1, divided by 2π for the angular phase average over the boundary
