Abstract: This paper extends the Aether Physics Model (APM) by showing that particle masses are not arbitrary constants but are emergent geometric quantities determined by the signed torsion of the loxodromic ribbon embedded in the Aether unit. The Aether unit is modeled as a double-surface toroidal cardioid; particles emerge as one-dimensional mass-current strings constrained to specific loxodromic windings. The average signed torsion of these windings determines whether the geometry is expansive (leptons) or contractive (baryons). A universal holonomy function extracted from atomic spectra,\[H(Z) = \frac{\pi}{3\sqrt{2}} + \alpha + \alpha \Phi^{-2} Z,\]is shown to arise from the projected torsion of the ribbon, with the sign of the slope flipping between leptonic and baryonic states. By combining holonomy with the APM ledger identities\[\Gamma = \frac{\mathrm{A_u}\,\mathrm{curl}}{{F_q}^2 {\lambda_C}^2} = 1, \qquad\Xi_s = \frac{m_s {\lambda_C}^2 F_q}{{e_{\mathrm{smax}}}^2 Cd} = 1,\]we eliminate free parameters and derive mass ratios directly. The proton-to-electron mass ratio is obtained as a curvature-inverse expansion exhibiting cardioid duality:\[\frac{m_p}{m_e}= 6\pi^5 + \pi^{-3} + 2\pi^{-6} + 2\pi^{-8} + 2\pi^{-10} + 2\pi^{-13} + \pi^{-15}\approx 1836.15267343.\]The same geometric mechanism extends naturally to the muon–electron ratio and the neutron–proton mass splitting. A key result is a quantitative relation between signed torsion and effective inertia, providing a physically grounded mechanism for space manipulation:\[\rho_{\mathrm{eff}}(\Theta_\tau) = 1 + \frac{1}{2} \Theta_\tau,\] where $\Theta_\tau$ is the normalized torsion integral over a loxodromic winding. Changing the sign of torsion produces expansion (reduced inertia) or contraction (increased inertia) of local Aether geometry. We present a response curve demonstrating this dependency and identify experimental configurations capable of modulating $\Theta_\tau$ in a controlled regime. Applications to compact astrophysical objects follow from the same ledger closure. If $\chi$ is the neutron-bound fraction, the effective compact-object factor is\[f_{\mathrm{eff}}(\chi) = \frac{1 + \chi}{2}.\]For neutron stars with $\chi \approx 0.90$, this yields $f_{\mathrm{eff}} \approx 0.95$, predicting systematic deviations from General Relativity that can be tested via VLBI/EHT closure phases and gravitational waveform shape. We propose five falsifiable QMU experimental pathways: (1) spectral holonomy slope sign reversal in plasma-bound hydrogen-like systems, (2) rotating-flux magnetic-charge metrology to measure $\Xi_s=1$, (3) AB-type torsion interferometry, (4) parity-odd VLBI/EHT closure phases, and (5) neutron-rich plasma flux scaling to measure $f_{\mathrm{eff}}(\chi)$. Together, these results close the APM ledger, unify particle masses, spectral holonomy, magnetic flux invariants, and compact-object phenomenology, and introduce a physically explicit method for controlled space manipulation via torsion modulation in the Aether medium.
