Description: The triviality of the Higgs sector in exactly four spacetime dimensions is a serious obstruction to the ultraviolet completion of the Standard Model for Particle Physics (SM). In contrast with the Asymptotic Safety program of Quantum Gravity, this brief report argues that minimal spacetime fractality above the SM scale, a) is a natural extension of Renormalization Group dynamics and b), it can successfully explain away the triviality problem.
