What TFPT claims
A two-input discrete compiler whose algebraic kernel derives the Standard-Model skeleton — the gauge group, three families, hypercharge and the flavor invariants — and several dimensionless readouts (α⁻¹, the neutrino angles, β_rad). It is built only from two axioms: the seam constant c₃ = 1/(8π) and the carrier rank g_car = 5. E₈ is the compiler’s internal audit lattice, not a physical gauge group.
