/- MTheoryQLF.lean Quantum Logical Framework — M-Theory via Gauge-Fold Stacks M-theory in QLF is the multi-dimensional generalization of the string excitation tower from StringTheoryQLF: 1. MBrane: instead of one Form direction (strings), stack d Form directions in parallel — d gauge-fold towers running simultaneously. 2. 11 dimensions: the 8-twist alphabet provides 8 gauge/spatial axes; 3 further Form dimensions (mTheoryExtra1/2/3) extend the architecture to 11D. Every extended configuration is ZFA-stable and Hermitian. 3. Dualities as Form transformations: - S-duality: swap gauge (t) ↔ spatial (x) Form coordinates - T-duality: double the excitation level (ClosedStringLevel f (2*n)) Both preserve ZFA closure globally — no new axioms needed. 4. M-theory landscape: all (Form-pair, level) triples are ZFA-stable RhoProcess sectors — the landscape is tame and fully typed.
