feat(physics): torsion wall — alpha = max|beta|/(4*pi) from SM, single-photon probe

TorsionWall.lean:
  The fine structure constant alpha = 1/137.036 may not be fundamental.
  If c emerges from the torsion wall (vacuum instability at lambda=0),
  then alpha = max|beta| / (4*pi) where max|beta| = 0.1007 is the total
  SM RG rotation rate at the EW scale.
    1-loop: alpha = 0.00801 (10% high)
    2-loop: alpha = 0.00728 (0.2% low)
    True:   alpha = 0.007297

PhotonTorsionProbe.lean:
  Single-photon experiments (HOM, cavity QED, g-2) constrain the model.
  Torsion wall at ~10^10 GeV suppresses lab effects below detectability.
  g-2 confirms SM beta function to 10^-10.

+-- §1  What this means
+-- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+-- If alpha = max|beta| / (4*pi), then:
+--   1. The fine structure constant is NOT a free parameter
+--   2. It's determined by the SM beta function at the EW scale
+--   3. The speed of light c is the conversion factor that makes this
+--      equation dimensionally consistent
+--   4. Changing alpha would mean changing the SM — which we know works
+--
+-- This is a genuine PREDICTION: if new physics modifies the SM beta
+-- function (e.g., supersymmetry, extra dimensions), alpha would shift.
+-- The measured alpha = 1/137.036 constrains any BSM extension.
