Abstract
In this chapter, we try to solve the naturalness problem based on the principle beyond ordinary field theory, maximum entropy principle and saddle/non analytical point of vacuum energy. In Sect. 4.1, we briefly review the naturalness problem of Higgs boson. In Sect. 4.2, we explain the original idea given by Coleman. In Sect. 4.3, we present a solution to the cosmological constant problem and Higgs mass using maximum entropy principle. In Sect. 4.4, we show a solution to the strong CP problem and cosmological constant problem based on the argument about vacuum energy.

- 1.
Similar argument can be done if we fix gauge couplings, quark mass and Higgs quartic coupling [5].
