IV.R255 — The meaning of 0.6%
The 0.6% deviation of the spectral formula from the experimental alpha^(-1) = 137.036 is a correction term, not an error term. The spectral formula is the leading-order approximation from the coupling algebra alone, without arena-level geometric refinements. Route B closes the gap.
