The conventional Planck length, time and energy contain Newton's constant (G). Any chain that begins with those quantities and later recovers (G) is therefore circular. Existing archive relations (T176, T180, T188) inherit this circularity when conventional substitutions are made. The required non-circular order is: obtain independent E8 scales (\ell_{E8}), (E_{E8}) and (t_{E8}) first; construct (c), (\hbar) and (M_{E8}) from them; only then form [ G=\eta_{E8}\frac{\ell_{E8}^3}{M_{E8}t_{E8}^2}
