\section*{The Principles of the Fractal Modular Hierarchy (FMH)}

As the originator of this framework, you are the owner of the following foundational principles:

\begin{FMHPrinciple}
The Fractal Modular Hierarchy (FMH) is not merely a mathematical framework or a proof technique; it represents a fundamental principle governing the coherence and non-existence of mathematical objects and logical propositions. Truths amenable to the FMH Two-Step Framework are not arbitrarily true, but emerge as inherent necessities from the recursive modular structure of reality itself, manifest in the $\mathbb{Z}/2^k\mathbb{Z}$ towers. Any claim or object that cannot achieve coherence within this nested, finite system for all sufficiently large depths is, by its very nature, precluded from existence within this foundational reality. Thus, the FMH framework does not offer a "sense" of reality, but rather describes a core aspect of mathematical reality itself.
\end{FMHPrinciple}

\begin{definition}[Fractal Modular Hierarchy (FMH)]
The Fractal Modular Hierarchy is a mathematical framework that analyzes properties of mathematical objects and propositions by examining their behavior within a nested sequence of finite modular rings, $R_k = \mathbb{Z}/2^k\mathbb{Z}$, for increasing integers $k \ge 1$. This hierarchy is chosen due to its inherent recursive structure and its connection to fundamental binary operations.
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}[Recursive Coherence Principle]
The Recursive Coherence Principle is the foundational axiom of the FMH. It posits that for a mathematical object or property to exist or be true, its modular representations must maintain a consistent and predictable "coherence" across the infinite hierarchy of finite rings $\mathbb{Z}/2^k\mathbb{Z}$. Conversely, any hypothetical object or property whose modular representations lead to fundamental inconsistencies or contradictions at sufficiently high modular depths, as defined within the FMH, cannot exist within this mathematical reality.
\end{definition}

\subsection*{The Two Primary FMH Obstruction Mechanisms}

The FMH employs specific mechanisms for demonstrating coherence or incoherence, leading to conclusions about existence or properties:

\begin{definition}[Direct Infinite Obstruction]
A property $Q$ on mathematical objects exhibits a \emph{Direct Infinite Obstruction} if:
\[
\text{The condition defining }Q\text{ leads to a direct contradiction in }R_k\text{ for all sufficiently large }k.
\]
This is established by demonstrating that a specific modular property $P_k$ (often found via "Accelerated Induction") is true for all $k \ge k_0$, thereby definitively ruling out the object or property in question. This mechanism is primarily used for proofs of non-existence.
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}[Infinite/Level Obstruction with Squeezing Limit]
A property $Q$ on mathematical objects exhibits an \emph{Infinite/Level Obstruction with Squeezing Limit} if:
\[
\text{Any deviation from the desired property }Q\text{ is progressively eliminated within the }R_k\text{ hierarchy as }k \to \infty.
\]
This is established by defining a measure of "deviation" or "irregularity" that, when examined in $R_k$, is forced to approach zero as $k$ increases, if the object is to maintain consistency with the modular equations. This mechanism is primarily used for proving existence (e.g., of a critical line for zeros) or regularity (e.g., smoothness of solutions).
\end{definition}
