# Φ-Model Research Program

*A unified framework connecting finite-resolution physics, non-commutative geometry, and Loop Quantum Gravity*

---

## 📖 Overview

This repository contains the complete collection of research papers and computational tools developing the **Φ-Model** framework - a comprehensive approach to quantum geometry that bridges measurement theory, non-commutative mathematics, and quantum gravity.

The core insight: *spacetime continuum emerges from finite measurement resolution*, formalized through the fundamental non-commutativity:
`[P_ℓ, lim] = δ_ℓ ≠ 0`
