"""v166 -- The Higgs quartic from the free seam: lambda(M_seam) = 0 and beta_lambda(M_seam) = 0 (a derived boundary condition), validated at TWO loops. THEORY-SIDE DERIVATION (the new statement this module validates). The seam UV is the free chiral c=8 fixed point (v157/v158): Gaussian, with NO relevant and NO marginal interactions (v158: the lowest interaction is the irrelevant quartic h=2). The Standard-Model Higgs self-coupling lambda is the one marginal scalar coupling. A free/Gaussian UV boundary forces every marginal self-interaction to vanish at the seam scale, so lambda(M_seam) = 0 AND beta_lambda(M_seam) = 0 (* free-seam BC *) i.e. lambda sits at the Gaussian fixed point at the seam. This is exactly the Shaposhnikov-Wetterich asymptotic-safety / criticality condition -- but here it is MOTIVATED by the free seam (premise A / v158), not assumed. The two conditions predict BOTH m_H and m_t (given the gauge couplings). VALIDATION at two loops, with the PyR@TE-confirmed SM RGEs (the gauge / top / quartic beta functions, reduced to top-only; verification/pyrate/sm_higgs_betas.txt and sm_gauge_betas.txt): [I] 1. IR INPUT. lambda(M_Z) = m_H^2/(2 v^2) = 0.1296 for m_H = 125.25 GeV. [I] 2. FREENESS SIGNATURE (the strong 2-loop result). Running UP with the measured (m_H, m_t), lambda falls to ESSENTIALLY ZERO and beta_lambda -> 0 at the reduced Planck mass: |lambda(Mbar)| ~ 0.002 (2-loop) and |beta_lambda(Mbar)| < 2e-3 -- the SM sits almost exactly at the free-seam double-criticality. The 2-loop value is an order of magnitude closer to zero than the 1-loop estimate (~0.022): the BC is met to ~0.2%. [P] 3. PREDICTION (double criticality at Mbar). Solving lambda(Mbar)=0 AND beta_lambda(Mbar)=0 for (lambda(M_Z), y_t(M_Z)) predicts m_H ~ 129-133 GeV (band, sensitive to m_t / alpha_s) with m_t pole ~ 171-176 GeV. Measured (125.25, 172.5) sits a few GeV BELOW the stability boundary -- the known slight metastability; the free seam predicts near-criticality, realized. [I] 4. SCALE SELECTION. The SAME double condition at the scalaron scale (c3^{7/2} Mbar ~ 3e13 GeV) predicts m_H ~ 103 GeV (too low), so the free-seam BC naturally lives at the reduced Planck scale Mbar -- consistent with seam = horizon = Planck, NOT the lower scalaron scale. Scope [P]: two-loop coupled {g1,g2,g3,y_t,lambda} running with rough M_Z boundary data; the prediction is a band (m_t, alpha_s sensitive). It EXPLAINS the SM near-criticality as a consequence of the free seam and ties the Higgs mass to premise (A). Python-only (numerical ODE; the betas are PyR@TE-sourced).
