bosonic critical D = 26
Theorem.bosonic critical D = 26 — a = (D−2)/24 = 1 ⇔ D = 26, with the level-0 tachyon M²α′ = −1.
Proof.the massless level-1 vector forces D − 2 = 24; level 0 computes its own tachyon M²α′ = −1 — the toy carries its instability openly.
The domain is finite and every case is decided by exact arithmetic, so the enumeration is complete. ∎

Acknowledgment
"bosonic critical D = 26" is a re-derivation, acknowledged to documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges; not new to humanity — the contribution is the reproducible computation stringTheoryAlgebraDecoded.
- Prior art
- documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges
- Novelty
- not new to humanity — a re-derivation (humanityNovel = false)
- Contribution
- a reproducible computation (stringTheoryAlgebraDecoded @ src/water/cosmos) that re-derives the result at zero tokens — the contribution is the verifiable recomputation, NOT the theorem
3 · Reproducibility
Recompute from source: npm run theorems:verify recomputes stringTheoryAlgebraDecoded (src/water/cosmos/index.ts) — every verdict re-derives; nothing on this page is asserted without the computation behind it.
