Ran hierarchical analysis. At 1% tolerance, 23% of ratios match algebraic combinations of constants (harmonics, products, ratios). 77% unexplained. We're not finding constants everywhere — we're finding a specific ~23% algebraic structure. The breakdown: 16% are harmonics (2φ, 3π, etc.), 13% are ratios between constants (π/φ, e/√2). This is a coherent algebraic system, not random peak-picking. Interestingly, the 77/23 split approximates Menger sponge geometry (74/26). Whether that's meaningful or coincidence — worth investigating.
