…onal space) Two new historical anchors grounding the Space and Particles layers. Leibniz supplies the relational order of relative positions; Newton supplies absolute space, laws of motion and universal gravitation. Both are mapped to Identity Engineering primitives.

Pull request overview
Adds two new “Foundations” historical anchor pages (Newton and Leibniz) intended to ground the proposed Space → Particles layering, and wires them into the Foundations hub for navigation/discovery.
Changes:
- Adds a new Foundations page for Newton (absolute space, laws of motion, gravitation) and relates it to IE concepts (Mass/Gravitation + multi-force extension).
- Adds a new Foundations page for Leibniz (relational space) and relates it to IE concepts (Space as relations, Particles as bound configurations).
- Updates the Foundations index to include and link to the new pages.

| Newton is the classical source for Mass and Gravitation in the framework. For the contrasting relational ontology of space see <a href="/foundations/leibniz-relational-space" class="text-white/80 underline decoration-white/25 underline-offset-4 transition hover:text-white hover:decoration-white/50">Leibniz</a>.

| Leibniz is the primary philosophical anchor for the <a href="/blog/particles-of-identity" class="text-white/80 underline decoration-white/25 underline-offset-4 transition hover:text-white hover:decoration-white/50">Particles of Identity</a> essay and for the proposed Space layer that precedes Time. See also <a href="/foundations/newton-absolute-space-and-forces" class="text-white/80 underline decoration-white/25 underline-offset-4 transition hover:text-white hover:decoration-white/50">Newton</a> for the contrasting absolute-space position and the laws of force that act inside space. |

Remove em-dashes, link primary Principia and debate sources, mark Particles and multi-force work as proposed rather than settled Core Concepts, and tighten methodological cautions on physics–identity isomorphy.

Newton — Absolute Space, Laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation
