The Hierarchy Was Never a Problem: The Proton-to-Planck Ratio Is the Forced Span 2^ (127/2)

One axiom. One operation. Zero free parameters. The hierarchy problem — gravity’s vast weakness, the Planck mass sitting ~10¹⁹ proton masses above ordinary matter, and the conviction that such a ratio needs new physics to protect it — is dissolved here. The proton-to-Planck ratio is not fine-tuned; it is a forced span. At the forced covering depth seven (the same depth that fixes the fine-structure constant), the tower from the One down to its floor has linear size MPlanck/mₚroton = 2^ (127/2) ≈ 1. 304×10¹⁹, matching the measured ratio (≈ 1. 301×10¹⁹) to 0. 24%, with zero free parameters. There is nothing to fine-tune and nothing to protect: the ratio is the number of doublings from the whole to the floor, counted. No supersymmetry, no extra dimensions. The only conventional quantity is the NAME of a unit, which carries no physics. Machine-checked; reproduces from one command.
