This work shows that the fundamental electromagnetic constants of vacuum — the permittivity epsilon0, the permeability mu0, the vacuum impedance Z0, and the speed of light c — can be derived from a single geometric mechanism inside the Methane Metauniverse (MMU) model. In the MMU, spacetime is described as a dual tetrahedral lattice. Each cell contains internal elastic axes that represent electric, torsional magnetic, and volumetric deformation modes. The analysis demonstrates that epsilon0 arises from the electric axis, mu0 from the torsional axis, and Z0 from their geometric projection ratio. The speed of light then follows as the natural propagation speed of a coupled deformation between these axes. This geometric picture connects electromagnetic behavior to the same internal structure that also explains Coulomb elasticity, the Rydberg spectrum, spin dynamics, and the Dirac projection in earlier MMU work. The result is a unified geometric interpretation of electromagnetism that does not require independent postulated constants.
