Gauge Boson Masses from Vacuum Network Geometry: W, Z, and Higgs in TVS23. The Acosta Correspondence Law

We derive the masses of the W boson, Z boson, and Higgs resonance from the geometry of the structured vacuum network V23, with zero free parameters. In TVS23, gauge bosons are torsional transition modes of the 23-channel elastic vacuum, not fundamental particles. The natural mass scale is mp/alpha ≈ 128.6 GeV. Results: W mass error 0.049%, Z mass error 0.206%, Higgs resonance error 0.254%, Weinberg angle error 0.11%. The Higgs correction factor 13/529 is not adjusted — 13 is the dominant lobe charge of the proton, the unique integer solution of u+d=20, 2u-d=19. The Standard Model requires spontaneous symmetry breaking, a vacuum expectation value v=246 GeV, and separate Yukawa couplings. TVS23 replaces all of this with one elastic network and the geometry of the dodecahedral cell.
