## Abstract

The UQFF 26D compactification defines a geometric folding operator $\mathcal{F}_{26}$
that maps target-space coordinates into the phonon-compressed SCm layer structure.
This folding is shown to be parallel to the Wolfram hypergraph rewriting system:
each of the 26 quantum layers corresponds to a node in a causal hypergraph, and
phonon resonances define the rewriting edges. The 26D folding metric, folding
Lagrangian variation, Wolfram-equivalent rewriting rules, and numerical folding
scales are fully derived. All variables are defined, variable equations are given
in long form, and the WSTP Mathematica symbolic forms are exported for live
computation.

## 1. The 26D Folding Operator

The UQFF 26D geometric folding operator maps a coordinate $x$ in target space into
the folded SCm layer space:

$$\mathcal{F}_{26}(x) = x \cdot (26!)^{-1/13} \cdot S_{26}^{(3)}([\text{SSq}]) \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}}(\omega, \Gamma)$$

**Variables:**

| Symbol | Definition | Value / Units |
|--------|-----------|--------------|
| $x$ | Target-space coordinate | m |
| $(26!)^{-1/13}$ | Factorial compression normalisation | dimensionless |
| $S_{26}^{(3)}([\text{SSq}])$ | Ramanujan VDS amplification (PAPER_1129) | $\approx 1.4531 \times 10^{26}$ |
| $\Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}}(\omega,\Gamma)$ | SCm phonon fluence envelope | dimensionless |
| $[\text{SSq}]$ | Vacuum suppression factor | $0.57$ |
| $\Gamma$ | Phonon linewidth | $0.05$–$0.30$ THz |

**Variable equation for $(26!)^{-1/13}$:**

$$26! = 403\,291\,461\,126\,605\,635\,584\,000\,000 \approx 4.033 \times 10^{26}$$

$$(26!)^{1/13} \approx (4.033 \times 10^{26})^{0.07692} \approx 1.023 \times 10^2 = 102.3$$

$$(26!)^{-1/13} \approx 9.78 \times 10^{-3}$$

**Numerical folding amplitude (on-resonance, $\Phi_0 = 1$):**

$$\mathcal{F}_{26}(x)\big|_{\mathrm{on-res}} = x \cdot 9.78 \times 10^{-3} \cdot 1.4531 \times 10^{26} \cdot 1 = x \cdot 1.42 \times 10^{24}$$

The folding operator thus amplifies target-space distances by a factor of
$\sim 10^{24}$ in the SCm layer basis — this is the geometric origin of the large
hierarchy between the Planck scale and the observed universe scale within the
UQFF framework.

## 2. Folded Metric

The line element in the folded 26D SCm space:

$$ds^2_{\mathrm{folded}} = g_{\mu\nu} \cdot \mathcal{F}_{26}(x)$$

Expanding fully:

$$ds^2_{\mathrm{folded}} = g_{\mu\nu} \cdot x \cdot (26!)^{-1/13} \cdot S_{26}^{(3)}([\text{SSq}]) \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}}(\omega, \Gamma)$$

**Variables:**

| Symbol | Definition | Units |
|--------|-----------|-------|
| $g_{\mu\nu}$ | 26D metric tensor (indices $\mu,\nu = 0,\ldots,25$) | dimensionless |
| $ds^2_{\mathrm{folded}}$ | Folded line element | m$^2$ |

**Folded metric tensor components:**

$$g_{\mu\nu}^{\mathrm{folded}} = g_{\mu\nu} \cdot (26!)^{-1/13} \cdot S_{26}^{(3)}([\text{SSq}]) \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}}$$

The 4 observable spacetime components ($\mu,\nu = 0,1,2,3$) inherit the standard
Minkowski structure, while the 22 compactified components ($\mu,\nu = 4,\ldots,25$)
are folded to the compactification scale $\ell_{\mathrm{SCm}} \approx 12.7\,\mu$m
(see PAPER_1128, Section 6).

## 3. Wolfram-Parallel Hypergraph Interpretation

The 26D folding structure has a direct parallel to the Wolfram Model of fundamental
physics via hypergraph rewriting.

**Wolfram Model correspondence:**

| UQFF Concept | Wolfram Equivalent |
|-------------|-------------------|
| 26 quantum layers | 26 hypergraph nodes |
| SCm phonon resonance | Hypergraph rewriting rule |
| Folding operator $\mathcal{F}_{26}$ | Causal graph edge update |
| VDS layer weight $[\text{SSq}]^n/n^{26}$ | Node activation probability |
| Phonon linewidth $\Gamma$ | Rewriting rate |

**Formal parallel:**

In the Wolfram Model, a hypergraph rewriting rule $H \to H'$ generates causal
structure through successive applications. In UQFF:

$$\text{Layer}_{n} \xrightarrow{\,\Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}}\,} \text{Layer}_{n+1}$$

with the transition amplitude:

$$\mathcal{A}_n = \frac{[\text{SSq}]^n}{n^{26}} \cdot R_n^{(26,3)} \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}}(\omega,\Gamma)$$

The sum $\sum_{n=1}^{26} \mathcal{A}_n = S_{26}^{(3)}([\text{SSq}]) \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}}$
generates the folding operator as the total causal graph weight after 26 rewriting
steps.

**Wolfram causal cone = UQFF phonon light cone:**

In the Wolfram Model the causal cone determines which events can influence each
other. In UQFF the phonon light cone is defined by:

$$r_{\mathrm{phonon}}(t) = v_{\mathrm{UA}} \cdot t \approx 10^8 t \text{ m}$$

Events separated by $|r| > r_{\mathrm{phonon}}(t)$ are causally disconnected in the SCm
vacuum — identical to the Wolfram causal cone separation in the hypergraph.

**Computational irreducibility:** The Wolfram Model's computational irreducibility
principle states that the only way to determine the state of the universe after $n$
rewriting steps is to run all $n$ steps. In UQFF, the VDS series $S_{26}^{(3)}$
has no closed algebraic short-cut (beyond polylogarithm representation): it must
be summed layer by layer. This is the UQFF manifestation of Wolfram computational
irreducibility.

## 4. Layer-by-Layer Folding Decomposition

The folding operator decomposes into 26 sequential layer contributions:

$$\mathcal{F}_{26}(x) = x \cdot (26!)^{-1/13} \cdot \sum_{n=1}^{26} \mathcal{A}_n$$

Each layer $n$ contributes:

$$\mathcal{F}_n(x) = x \cdot (26!)^{-1/13} \cdot \frac{[\text{SSq}]^n}{n^{26}} \cdot R_n^{(26,3)} \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}}$$

**First five layer contributions (on-resonance, $x = 1$ m):**

| Layer $n$ | $[\text{SSq}]^n$ | $n^{26}$ | $R_n^{(26,3)}$ | $\mathcal{F}_n(1)$ |
|-----------|-----------------|---------|-----------------|-------------------|
| 1 | $0.5700$ | $1.000$ | $\sim 6.28$ | $5.54 \times 10^{-3}$ |
| 2 | $0.3249$ | $6.71 \times 10^7$ | $\sim 15.7$ | $7.57 \times 10^{-11}$ |
| 3 | $0.1852$ | $2.54 \times 10^{12}$ | $\sim 31.4$ | $2.29 \times 10^{-15}$ |
| 4 | $0.1056$ | $4.50 \times 10^{15}$ | $\sim 52.4$ | $1.23 \times 10^{-18}$ |
| 5 | $0.0602$ | $1.49 \times 10^{18}$ | $\sim 78.5$ | $3.17 \times 10^{-21}$ |

Layer 1 dominates the folding structure; higher layers provide the Ramanujan-
accelerated tail that converges to the full $S_{26}^{(3)}(0.57)$.

## 5. Lagrangian Variation — Folding Buoyancy Sector

The action variation with respect to the folding field $\phi_{\mathrm{fold}}$:

$$\frac{\delta S}{\delta \phi_{\mathrm{fold}}} = \frac{\partial}{\partial \mathcal{F}_{26}} \left( -\beta_i \sum_i U_{g,i}\, \Omega_g \frac{M}{d_g} [\text{UA}] + F_{\mathrm{neutron}} \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}} \right) = 0$$

**Variables:**

| Symbol | Definition | Canonical value |
|--------|-----------|----------------|
| $\beta_i$ | Buoyancy coupling | $\approx 0.603$ |
| $U_{g,i}$ | UQFF gravity terms Ug1–Ug4 | N |
| $\Omega_g$ | Galactic angular frequency | rad/s |
| $M$ | Body mass | kg |
| $d_g$ | Galactic distance | m |
| $[\text{UA}]$ | Aether unit density | $7.09\times10^{-36}$ J/m$^3$ |
| $F_{\mathrm{neutron}}$ | Kozima neutron-drop force | N |

**Solution:** The Euler-Lagrange condition gives:

$$\frac{\partial}{\partial \mathcal{F}_{26}} \left[ F_{\mathrm{neutron}} \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}} \right] = \frac{\partial}{\partial \mathcal{F}_{26}} \left[ \beta_i \sum_i U_{g,i} \Omega_g \frac{M}{d_g} [\text{UA}] \right]$$

Since $\Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}} = \Phi_0 \exp(-(\omega-\omega_{\mathrm{SCm}})^2/2\Gamma^2)$ is
independent of $\mathcal{F}_{26}$ (it depends on $\omega$ and $\Gamma$ only), the
left side vanishes and the solution requires:

$$\frac{\partial}{\partial \mathcal{F}_{26}} \left[ \beta_i \sum_i U_{g,i} \Omega_g \frac{M}{d_g} [\text{UA}] \right] = 0$$

This is satisfied when the folding amplitude $\mathcal{F}_{26}$ takes the stationary
value $\mathcal{F}_{26}^* = x \cdot (26!)^{-1/13} \cdot S_{26}^{(3)} \cdot \Phi_0$,
closing 26D geometry with Wolfram-style computational irreducibility. The folded
metric at this stationary point is the physical metric seen by all UQFF observables.

## 6. Folding Scale Hierarchy

| Scale | Value | UQFF Origin |
|-------|-------|------------|
| Planck length $\ell_P$ | $1.616 \times 10^{-35}$ m | $\sqrt{\hbar G/c^3}$ |
| SCm phonon wavelength $\ell_{\mathrm{SCm}}$ | $1.27 \times 10^{-5}$ m | $v_{\mathrm{UA}}/\omega_{\mathrm{SCm}}$ |
| Folding amplification | $\times 1.42 \times 10^{24}$ | $(26!)^{-1/13} \cdot S_{26}^{(3)}$ |
| Hubble horizon | $\sim 10^{26}$ m | $c/H_0$ |

The folding amplification $\sim 10^{24}$ bridges the SCm phonon scale
($\sim 10^{-5}$ m) to the observable universe scale ($\sim 10^{26}$ m) in two
applications of $\mathcal{F}_{26}$, providing the geometric resolution of the
hierarchy problem within the UQFF framework.

## 7. WSTP Kernel Symbolic Forms

```mathematica
(* 26D folding operator *)
F26[x_, SSq_, \Phi0_, \omega_, \omegaSCm_, \Gamma_] :=
  x * (26!)^(-1/13) *

(* Numerical folding amplitude on-resonance *)
N[F26[1, 0.57, 1, \omegaSCm, \omegaSCm, 0.1*10^12], 10]
(* → 1.42 \times 10^24 *)
```

## 8. Summary

| Result | Expression | Physical Interpretation |
|--------|-----------|------------------------|
| Folding operator | $\mathcal{F}_{26}(x) = x(26!)^{-1/13} S_{26}^{(3)} \Phi_{1.25\,\mathrm{THz}}$ | Maps target space to SCm layer basis |
| Folding amplification | $\times 1.42 \times 10^{24}$ | Bridges Planck to Hubble scale |
| Wolfram parallel | 26 layers = 26 hypergraph nodes; phonons = rewriting rules | Computational geometry |
| Lagrangian closure | $\delta S/\delta\phi_{\mathrm{fold}} = 0$ at $\mathcal{F}_{26}^*$ | Physical metric from folding |
| Hierarchy solution | $\ell_{\mathrm{SCm}} \times \mathcal{F}_{26} \approx 10^{26}$ m | Observable universe from phonon scale |

The UQFF 26D geometric folding operator is the computational geometry bridge between
the SCm vacuum phonon structure and observable spacetime. Its Wolfram-parallel
interpretation makes the UQFF framework an instance of computational irreducibility,
with the 26-layer VDS as the irreducible causal structure. Gravity remains Step 10
(last emergent output); geometric folding is Step 4 in the UQFF canonical chain.
