 374/-- **THE DIMENSION FORCING THEOREM**
 375
 376    D = 3 is forced by Alexander duality:
 377    1. Ledger conservation requires non-trivial linking
 378    2. Alexander duality: linking exists ↔ D = 3 (Hatcher Thm 3.44)
 379    3. Consequences: 2^D = 8 (eight-tick) and lcm(8,45) = 360 (gap-45 sync)
 380
 381    There is no free parameter; D is determined.
 382    The 8-tick and gap-45 are now consequences, not premises. -/
