V.R292 — The 10^120

The 10^120 discrepancy is not a fine-tuning problem; it is a counting error. Manifold-based QFT counts continuous modes at arbitrarily short wavelengths that the profinite structure does not support. The predicted vacuum energy of 10^113 J/m^3 is the energy of modes that are not real. Only real modes (boundary characters) contribute, and their ground state has zero energy.
