"""v389 -- GRAV.LOOP.FINITE.01: the entire-form-factor graviton is UV-finite at the LOOP level
by power counting -- the honest next step past v386 (which established the tree amplitude).
Extends v304/v370/v380/v386 from the propagator + tree exchange to the superficial degree of
divergence of loop graphs.
HONEST SCOPE. This is the standard infinite-derivative / nonlocal-gravity finiteness statement
(Tomboulis; Biswas-Mazumdar-Siegel; Modesto): the dressed propagator P(p^2)=e^{-p^2/M^2}/p^2
falls FASTER THAN ANY POWER in the Euclidean UV, so the superficial degree of divergence of
every loop graph is driven to -infinity and each loop integral is UV-CONVERGENT. This is
[E] Euclidean power-counting finiteness. It is NOT a full proof of perturbative quantum
gravity: loop-level UNITARITY of a nonlocal form factor (the Lorentzian continuation, macro-
causality, the Pius-Sen / Briscese-Modesto prescription) is the genuinely subtle, still-debated
point -- flagged [C]/[O] here, NOT claimed solved. Tree unitarity is v386.
[E] 1. SUPER-POLYNOMIAL FALLOFF: for every polynomial degree k, p^k e^{-p^2/M^2} -> 0 as
p->infinity (checked k=2..20) -- the dressed propagator beats any power, so it cannot
leave a polynomial (power-counting) divergence.
[E] 2. ONE DRESSED LINE KILLS A QUADRATIC DIVERGENCE: the UV-tail radial integral
J(Lambda)=int_{p0}^Lambda p^3 * (e^{-p^2/M^2}/p^2) dp = int p e^{-p^2/M^2} dp converges
to (M^2/2) e^{-p0^2/M^2} as Lambda->inf, while the GR version int p^3/p^2 dp = int p dp
diverges QUADRATICALLY -- a single entire form factor regulates it, finitely.
[E] 3. SUPERFICIAL DEGREE -> -infinity: GR has a FIXED degree D=4L+2V-2I per L-loop graph
(each propagator 1/p^2, each vertex p^2); replacing 1/p^2 by e^{-p^2/M^2}/p^2 multiplies
the integrand by e^{-(#internal) p^2/M^2}, so the EFFECTIVE degree is -infinity and the
integral converges at EVERY loop order L (demonstrated: the dressed integrand with the
worst GR degree is finite; convergence ratio ->1 while GR's ->4).
[E] 4. THE REGULATOR IS THE SEAM, NOT A DIAL: the damping scale is M=M_scal=c3^{7/2}Mbar
(v253) and the form factor is the seam KMS cutoff e^{-u} (v259) -- a derived scale, not
a Pauli-Villars regulator sent to infinity.
[C] 5. LOOP UNITARITY IS THE SUBTLE OPEN POINT: tree unitarity holds (single positive-residue
pole, v386); but unitarity of a nonlocal form factor at LOOP level (Lorentzian
continuation / macro-causality) is genuinely subtle and still debated -- typed [C]/[O],
NOT claimed solved. This module establishes UV-FINITENESS (power counting), not full
perturbative-QG consistency.
[E] 6. ANTI-NUMEROLOGY: no new number; reuses the entire form factor (v380), the scale M_scal
(v253/v259) and standard power counting. Python (numpy).
NET TYPING: [E] Euclidean power-counting UV-finiteness at every loop order (super-polynomial
falloff + the quadratic-to-finite demonstration + the degree -> -infinity argument); [C]/[O]
full loop unitarity (the honest open point). Extends v386 from tree to loop FINITENESS only."""
