The vector Laplacian on the FCC lattice correctly discretizes all metric components, including the off-diagonal terms that encode frame dragging, thereby establishing the weak-field rotating sector. For homogeneous expansion, the Friedmann equations follow by applying the Regge cosmology result to the SST simplicial lattice, with flat spatial curvature (k = 0) fixed by the FCC topology rather than imposed as a boundary condition. In the strong-field regime, the full nonlinear Regge equations converge to the Schwarzschild solution, identifying the exponential form of E7–E8 as the weak-field approximation.
