Description

We prove sixteen theorems within the framework of the self-dual modular tensor category SU(3)_3 ⊗ SU(2)_2, deriving 36 Standard Model parameters with zero free parameters (30 verified against data, RMS accuracy 1.60%). Version 16: derives the complete gravitational sector from MTC data. The graviton emerges as the stress tensor T(z) with h=2 from the WZW boundary of the Crane-Yetter TQFT, with exact masslessness topologically protected by the Virasoro algebra and TQFT diffeomorphism invariance. The Planck mass M_Pl = v*exp(12pi+3/4) matches the unreduced Planck mass to 0.2%. Einstein's equations emerge via Jacobson's entanglement equilibrium argument (the TEE drops out of variations). Black hole entropy S = A/(4G) - (3/2)ln(A/l_P^2) - ln(D) follows from the Cardy formula with c=3/2; the -ln(D) = -1.24 topological correction is a distinctive MTC prediction. The gravitational theta-angle theta_grav = -pi/4 is testable via CMB parity violation at CMB-S4 and LiteBIRD.
