We present our theoretical predictions for the three gauge coupling constants of the Standard Model (SM). For the famous finestructure constant our prediction is α-1=137+/-9. These predictions are based on our Anti-Grand-Unified Theory (Anti-GUT) gauge group and the Multiple Point Criticality Principle (MPCP). Both Anti-GUT and MPCP are proposed as principles or laws underlying the SM. Both were originally suggested by our observation that the experimentally determined Standard Model Group (SMG) gauge couplings have non-generic patterns of values that could be explained by these two new principles. The observation that the gauge couplings assume values corresponding to a maximally degenerate vacuum lead to the MPCP. As the transitions between the different vacuua are first order, the MPCP provides a way of finetuning constants of Nature-without finetuned imput-in a manner reminescent of how temperature is ``finetuned'' to 0 °C. In an equilibrated mixture of ice and water. In a 4-dimensional field theory, this mechanism for finetuning suggests a form of non-locality that, however, is phenomenologically tolerable because the only effect is the modification of the values of coupling constants. We argue that the time-machine type of paradoxes that plague non-local theories are avoided precisely when Nature obeys the MPCP.
