This explains part of the hierarchy problem: the projection factor 5/6 accounts for dimensional reduction, and the remaining suppression comes from scale ratios. -/ theorem gravity_weaker_than_planck : xi_qfd_theoretical > alpha_G_planck := by unfold xi_qfd_theoretical alpha_G_planck k_geom projection_reduction norm_num /-! ## Path to Full Derivation -/ /-- Main theorem (current status: numerical validation) Future work: Derive projection_reduction = 5/6 from Cl(3,3) structure instead of treating it as empirical.
