"""v36 -- G2 grounded (spectral action -> R+R^2) + the SIMPLER QG resolution (gap decoupling).

G2 (heat-kernel grounding of gravity).  For the Dirac operator (Lichnerowicz
D^2 = nabla^2 + R/4, so E = -R/4, spinor trace tr(I)=4) the Seeley-DeWitt / Gilkey
coefficients give the spectral action Tr f(D^2/Lambda^2) the expansion

   ~ f4 Lambda^4 a0  +  f2 Lambda^2 a2  +  f0 a4  + ...

with (per (4pi)^-2):
   a2  ~  (1/6) tr(6E + R I)  =  -R/3        -> Einstein-Hilbert (int R)
   a4  ~  (1/360) tr(180 E^2 + 60 R E + 5 R^2 I)  =  R^2/72   -> R^2 (Starobinsky)

So the spectral action STRUCTURALLY produces  S ~ (Mbar^2/2)(R + R^2/(6 M^2)),
i.e. exactly the closed f(R) field equation, with the scalaron mass ratio set by
the cutoff moment f0:
   M^2/Mbar^2 = 6 (4pi)^2 / f0 .
The TFPT closure M^2/Mbar^2 = c3^7 fixes f0 = 6(4pi)^2 / c3^7, i.e. M = c3^(7/2) Mbar
= 3.06e13 GeV (the boundary normalisation c3 IS the gravitational scale).
[The R+R^2 STRUCTURE is convention-independent; the precise rational 1/72 and the
factor 6 depend on the standard Dirac/Gilkey conventions used here.]

THE SIMPLER RESOLUTION of "full QG" (gap decoupling).  We do NOT need to build the
infinite-dimensional ambient measure to have physics.  The metric coupling is
gap-dominated (G5): 2||V_metric|| = 0.785 < Delta = 6 log(3/2) = 2.433, so the
admissible sector keeps a POSITIVE effective gap Delta_eff = 1.648 > 0 even under
the metric dressing.  A positive gap dynamically ISOLATES the admissible sector
from the un-built ambient/deep-UV: the physical (IR) measure is the CLOSED
admissible-sector measure, and the ambient completion is decoupled and physically
inert.  So for physics, "full QG" = the closed admissible sector; the projective
limit (G6) is a question of mathematical completeness, not a physics gate.
