Quantum Informational Gravity (QIG): A Minimal Scalar–Tensor Extension of the Standard Model with Higgs-Sector Deformation

This release presents Quantum Informational Gravity (QIG) as a minimal, explicit scalar–tensor effective field theory coupled to the Standard Model. A single scalar degree of freedom � modifies gravity through a non-minimal coupling �, and deforms electroweak symmetry breaking through �-dependent Higgs parameters � and �. The paper provides: A closed-form QIG+SM action with a controlled higher-derivative EFT deformation Full field equations for the metric, QIG scalar, and Higgs sector A conservative parameterization of QIG-induced renormalization-group (�-function) deformation A minimal numerical illustration showing qualitative sensitivity of gauge coupling and Higgs quartic running The framework is constructed to be maximally conservative, including luminal tensor propagation (�) and continuity in the decoupling limit. This release is intended as a testable foundation for further cosmological, collider, and vacuum-stability investigations.
