 170/-! ## The Hierarchy Problem Revisited -/
 171
 172/-- The Standard Model has a hierarchy problem:
 173    Why is the Higgs mass (125 GeV) << Planck mass (10¹⁹ GeV)?
 174    Loop corrections want to push m_H up to the cutoff.
 175    In RS, the hierarchy becomes a φ-cascade, not fine-tuning. -/
