 143    The coupling ratio g'/g determines the mixing angle.

 157/-- In RS, the Weinberg angle emerges from 8-tick phase geometry:

 159    1. The 8 phases form a group: Z₈
 160    2. The electroweak group SU(2) × U(1) embeds in this
 161    3. The embedding angle is constrained by φ
 162    4. This gives sin²(θ_W) related to 1/(2φ + 1)
 163
 164    Specifically: sin²(θ_W) ≈ 1/(2φ + 1) = 1/4.236 ≈ 0.236
