Why is the Higgs scale so much smaller than the Planck scale? (The hierarchy problem)

The puzzle is both a large ratio and a question of stability. The Higgs scale is tiny compared with the scale associated with quantum gravity, while a scalar mass can be sensitive to higher-energy physics. OPH's proposed direction is to derive the particle and gravitational scales from one finite observer construction, rather than assign an independent continuum cutoff and tune a cancellation against it. Candidate exponential relations illustrate how a large separation might arise from moderate inputs. They become an explanation only when those inputs, physical scales and their stability are justified. A finite carrier by itself does not solve the hierarchy problem, and a numerical coupling chain with supplied running laws does not establish an unfitted Higgs mass.
