M_2 = 15/7 exactly (so E_2 = sum|a_nu|^2 = 23/7). Reproduces the known 1984 value under the M_n convention.

M_2=15/7 re-derived symbolically and numerically.
Referee-commissioned independent blind review (Fable-5). Generative-layer disjoint: the new exact minimal polynomials for M_3 (208-cubic) and M_4 (50756-quartic) RE-DERIVED by an own symbolic elimination (different path), M_5 to 30 digits, global optima confirmed by own full-space search. 6/7 claims fully supported with honest scoping. Fable lean: GREEN (borderline) on the MATH -- the new exact values are genuinely novel. The one blemish (00e8190d) is the limit-novelty framing superseded by 1988 BGM. Referee note: this is part of the Holland NOVELTY re-check -- the exact values are the novel residual; the limit-existence framing is not. Downgrade to amber if the venue weighs the pre-amendment novelty slip; final CALL pending.
