Combinatorial Derivation of Structural Corrections to Physical Constants

A universal structural correction functional is derived within Quantum Entanglement Spacetime Theory (QuEST) from four foundational postulates. The construction yields a time-nonlocal correction term induced by swap recombination across contraction layers, expressed purely through finite hypergraph boundary structure, contraction images, and cross-layer transport. No reference is made to geometry, Hilbert spaces, probability, or external physics. Modeling freedom is declared explicitly, and interpretive mapping to physical constants is segregated from derivation in accordance with the QuEST Execution Protocol (QEP).
