Obtained α⁻¹ = 137.035999081, closely matching the PDG value 137.035999084(21).
Achieved accuracy of 10.6 significant figures with zero fitted parameters.
Identified all integers in the formula as framework constants, linking to theoretical physics.

Abstract

The fine-structure constant reciprocal is derived from the spectral zeta function of the Laplacian on the three-sphere S³: α⁻¹ = N + ζᵤ (2) /c + ζᵤ (3) ·c/N² where N = 137 (the Koide integer), ζᵤ (2) = π²/12 − 11/16 and ζᵤ (3) = −π²/16 + 21/32 are proven closed-form spectral zeta values, and c = dim (SU (4) ) /NPS = 15/4. The result is 137. 035999081, matching the PDG value 137. 035999084 (21) at 0. 15σ — 10. 6 significant figures with zero fitted parameters. The one-loop and two-loop coefficients (4/15 and 15/4) are exact reciprocals. Every integer in the formula is a framework constant: 12 = Nc×NPS, 11 = b₀, 16 = NPS², 21 = Nc×bQCD, 15 = dim (SU (4) ). This result is derived within the Vacuum Mechanics framework (DOI: 10. 5281/zenodo. 19240140).
