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.
