 174/-- The Weinberg angle encodes fundamental information:
 175
 176    1. **Charge quantization**: Q = I₃ + Y/2, where I₃ and Y mix by θ_W
 177    2. **Mass relations**: m_W = m_Z × cos(θ_W)
 178    3. **Coupling unification**: At high energy, couplings merge
 179
 180    In RS, all three emerge from the 8-tick structure with φ-optimization. -/
