 248    This replaces the linking axiom with a Clifford algebra-based characterization.
 249    The proof uses:
 250    1. RS requires 8-tick = 2^D, so D must divide into 2³
 251    2. RS requires non-abelian simple Spin(D)

 258/-! ## The Linking Argument (Via Alexander Duality — Independent of T7)
 259
 260D = 3 is the unique dimension admitting non-trivial linking of closed curves.
 261This is a theorem of algebraic topology (Alexander duality), fully independent
 262of the 8-tick structure.

 265cohomology-based predicate from `AlexanderDuality.lean`. The equivalence
