# Quantum Foam Boundary
Status: `HOLD_FLUCTUATION_BOUNDARY`
Claim boundary: quantum foam is modeled here as a fluctuation/noise boundary
around `U0`. It does not promote a physical quantum-gravity theory, spacetime
engineering, Planck-scale access, cosmology fit, compression result, or hardware
claim.
## Role In The Stack
`U0` remains exact accounting closure:
```text
U0 closes iff O_visible + U_under + U_sink = 0
```
Quantum foam is the messy boundary case where the recomputed net charge is near
zero but not exact, or where a measurement floor/jitter band is being invoked.
It must never silently replace `U0`.
```text
exact U0:
net_charge = 0
replay_receipt_present = true
foam HOLD:
abs(net_charge) <= declared_jitter_bound
replay_receipt_present may be false
reject:
abs(net_charge) > declared_jitter_bound
```
## Folded-Point Refinement
The model now distinguishes an observer-frame `0D` point from an empty point:
```text
0D in observer frame != zero internal structure
```
Quantum foam can therefore be held as an apparent-0D boundary while a separate
folded-point receipt declares whether it carries higher-dimensional interior
structure.
```text
apparent 0D point
+ internalDim witness
+ neutral closure
+ replay receipt
+ torsion potential
-> folded-point candidate
```
This prevents two opposite errors:
```text
foam is nothing -- too destructive
foam proves everything -- too permissive
```
The finite Lean surface for this refinement is:
```text
0-Core-Formalism/lean/Semantics/Semantics/Core/FoldedPointManifold.lean
```
The stronger loopback rule is also there: after apparent `0D` resolution loss,
a receipted folded `16D` interior may be treated as a permeable return surface
only when `permeabilityDeclared = true`.
## Lanes
| Lane | Terminal | Use |
|---|---|---|
| `U_QFOAM_BOUNDARY` | `HOLD_QFOAM_BOUNDARY` | Net charge is inside a declared jitter or measurement band, but exact `U0` replay is absent. |
| `U_QFOAM_SCALE_UNDECLARED` | `HOLD_QFOAM_SCALE` | Foam language was used without a scale band, tolerance, or measurement floor. |
| `U_QFOAM_REJECT_MACRO_PROMOTION` | `REJECT_QFOAM_MACRO_PROMOTION` | Planck/sub-resolution fluctuation was promoted to a macro claim without renormalized evidence. |
## Lean Surface

Fixtures:
```text

foamJitterFixture -> holdFoam
outOfBandFixture -> rejectClaim
```
## Working Rule
Quantum foam may explain why a local zero claim is noisy. It may not admit the
zero claim. Admission still requires exact `U0` replay, or a separate declared
renormalization/measurement model with its own receipt.
## Non-Claims
- No claim of direct Planck-scale measurement.
- No claim of quantum-gravity proof.
- No claim of spacetime engineering.
- No claim that foam creates usable energy or information.
- No cosmology, compression, or hardware promotion.
