=== You asked about the near numerical proximity of 1/α≈137.03591/\alpha\approx137.03591/α≈137.0359 and the golden-angle number ≈137.5077°. Here is a defensible geometric route for how such near-coincidences could arise without invoking numerology: ===
# In QAT, the boundary geometry is primary: the 2-sphere surface both carries the charge eee and hosts quantized action h/2πh/2\pih/2π. The allowed surface modes (angular momentum quantum numbers, radial nodes, etc.) are determined by the surface boundary conditions (antiperiodic spinor modes, quantization condition for action around loops, etc.). Those allowed modes are intimately determined by the angular geometry of the sphere (angles, inscribed squares/rectangles, golden-ratios created by inscribed squares touching the center, etc.).
# If an energy-minimizing configuration of the surface action functional (electrostatic self-energy + quantum action constraint + possible curvature / plasma terms) favors a partition of the surface area into sectors whose angular measure is close to the golden angle (the golden ratio often arises when a repeated partitioning / extremal ratio is involved), then some characteristic numeric built from that partition can appear in a geometric constant constructed from R,σ,h,cR,\sigma,h,cR,σ,h,c. Because α\alphaα is a ratio of lengths (or energy scales) built from the same ingredients, a near equality can appear.
# But the boundary variational problem is not a one-number, closed algebraic constraint — it’s a continuous minimization problem. Small physical corrections change the stationary value slightly: - dielectric dispersion (frequency dependence of ε(ω)\varepsilon(\omega)ε(ω)), - atomic emission/line spectra (narrow spectral peaks shift effective weighting of angles that depend on refractive index), - plasma collective effects at high TTT (sheet currents / double-layers), - geometrical broken symmetry (small departures from ideal sphere), will all perturb the stationary geometric ratio R/λCR/\lambda_CR/λC or the effective σ\sigmaσ slightly.
# So the idea is not that α\alphaα is exactly the golden-angle number, but that both arise from the same underlying spherical geometry, and the small offset (≈0.47° when comparing degrees) is plausibly attributable to physical, spectral, dispersive corrections that weight the geometry slightly away from the ideal symmetric partition.

This is consistent with the computational experiments you ran where spectral weighting (Planck curve vs. strong narrow lines) moved the mean rainbow angle several tenths/units of a degree. In short: spherical geometry supplies the backbone; spectroscopy/plasma/dispersive effects supply the fine corrections.
