 272/-! ## Numerical interval bounds for canonical bands
 273
 274The following theorems establish verified numerical bounds for the `gap` function
 275at the canonical Z-values (24, 276, 1332) used in the three fermion mass bands.
 276
 277These are structured as certified intervals matching the style in
 278`Physics/ElectronMass/Necessity.lean`.

 283/-! ### Foundational bounds on φ and log(φ)
 284
 285These numerical bounds are used to certify interval arithmetic for gap values.
 286The bounds on φ come from √5 computation; bounds on log(φ) are represented as hypotheses
 287as they require Taylor polynomial evaluation (see Physics/ElectronMass/Necessity.lean
 288for the full proof machinery).
