  ABSTRACT: This short communication shows that the utility of golden section control numbers, previously demonstrated in the computation of the fine-structure constant at low energy, α , and at the Z boson mass scale, α( M z ) , extends to the non-Abelian Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) coupling. Specifically, the strong coupling constant at the Z boson mass scale, α s ( M z ) , is found to exhibit a corresponding control number signature within the same framework. The detection of control number signatures in α , α( M z ) , and α s ( M z ) indicates that these control numbers may encode a recurring numerical-geometric structure associated with fundamental physical constants, suggesting that, while standard paradigms treat coupling constants as empirically derived quantities governed by quantum field renormalization, they may relate to geometric constraints of Platonic number systems.
