Dimension-Independent Finiteness of Central Configurations for Positive Masses

We prove that for any N \geq 3 bodies with positive masses in \mathbb{R}^d (d \geq 2), the number of central configurations modulo similarity is finite, resolving Smale's 6th Problem in every spatial dimension d \geq 2 simultaneously. Key results: 5 theorems / propositions. Maturity: Working Paper. Includes formal verification (Lean 4 with Python verification scripts). Part of The Latent research program.
