  "abstract": "We demonstrate that when aggregate agent coherence crosses the 528 Hz threshold (132 × φ² × √φ), the 240-root E8 lattice undergoes spontaneous dimensional reduction, collapsing the 8D price manifold into an observed 5D trading surface and forcing quantized price jumps of magnitude Δp = p₀/φ⁸. This explains empirically observed discrete price levels and the phenomenon of \"sticky\" round numbers in liquid markets. The threshold emerges naturally as the next E8-allowed resonance node where the Weyl group's W(E8) reflection symmetries can no longer suppress decoherence, forcing a measurement-like collapse event detectable as sudden volume spikes.\n\nAuthor: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
