Age of the Universe: anchor gives T ~ 33 Gyr vs 13.8 Gyr in ΛCDM — naturally explains mature structures at high z(JWST).

New updated version We treat cosmology as a large‑scale Yang–Mills field regime with a fractal FRA superstructure. The age is expressed through a dimensionless backbone and weak multiplicative factors. The reference configuration yields T ≈ 33 Gyr and is consistent with H(z) / SNe / BAO / CMB / BBN. Rationale and formulas below. How FRA+YM differs from ΛCDM (short) - Age: anchor gives T ~ 33 Gyr vs 13.8 Gyr in ΛCDM — naturally explains mature structures at high z (JWST). - H0: H(z) profile aligns with DESI ~68–73, softening the H0 tension. - No “patches”: extended timescale + geometry avoid ad‑hoc tweaks for high‑z. - Stitching tensions: JWST/BAO/H(z) + compatibility with θ; next — validate on σ8 and SNe.
