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. -/
