sin²θ_W = 0.2312 ± 0.0003

Abstract: EW-5 is the capstone of the electroweak series, deriving how SU(2)_L × U(1)_Y emerges from the 600-cell lattice without fundamental gauge fields, a Higgs mechanism, or spontaneous symmetry breaking. Three genuine derivations are established: SU(2)_L emerges from 120°/240° angular biases in 600-cell tetrahedral cells via the binary icosahedral group acting on the lattice vertices; the Weinberg angle sin^2 theta_W = 0.2312 ± 0.0003 follows from four-layer phase interference with golden-ratio probability weights; gauge invariance follows from a Nexus Invariance theorem; and the Yang-Mills EFT recovers as the coarse-graining limit via Wilson action. The coupling constants g and g' are reproduced from shell vertex ratios with one calibration factor, and a previously claimed unified mass formula contradicting the directly computed Higgs mass is reframed as an explicit open problem.
