The Structured Vacuum Theory TVS23, derived from the polynomial x³ − x − 1 = 0 with discriminant Δ = −23, makes specific numerical predictions for fundamental constants prior to their next CODATA measurement cycle. Predictions computed with zero adjustable parameters: (1) Fine structure constant: α⁻¹ = 137.0359991... The eighth decimal digit is predicted to be 1, versus the CODATA 2018 value of 0. The prediction follows from a geometric series in powers of 23⁻ⁿ whose coefficients are fixed by the representation theory of A₅ and the 19+4 channel decomposition. (2) Proton-to-electron mass ratio: mp/me = 22340448/12167 = 1836.152709787... CODATA 2018 gives 1836.15267343(11). TVS23 predicts convergence of the tenth significant digit from 3 toward 7. (3) Newton's gravitational constant: G = 6.67430(15) × 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹s⁻². TVS23 predicts resolution of the anomalous laboratory dispersion in current G measurements toward this value. Each prediction includes an explicit decision criterion: what CODATA 2026 must show to confirm or falsify TVS23 at that digit. This document is submitted prior to CODATA 2026 publication to establish priority independent of experimental outcome.
