In the framework of a renormalization group procedure, all sorts of interactions are treated on the equal footing to derive the coupled energy-dependent evolutions of all interaction couplings that govern the low-energy properties. Deciphering the essential physical information of such flows, we at first find that the tendencies of interaction parameters fall into three categories including Limit case, Special case, and General case based on the initial conditions. In addition, the 2D QBCP system is attracted to several distinct kinds of fixed points (FPs) in the interaction-parameter space, namely <span><math><msubsup><mrow><mi>FP</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>1</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>+</mo></mrow></msubsup></math></span>/<span><math><msubsup><mrow><mi>FP</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>−</mo></mrow></msubsup></math></span>, <span><math><msubsup><mrow><mi>FP</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>1</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>±</mo></mrow></msubsup></math></span>/ <span><math><msubsup><mrow><mi>FP</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>±</mo></mrow></msubsup></math></span>/<span><math><msubsup><mrow><mi>FP</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>3</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>±</mo></mrow></msubsup></math></span>, and <span><math><mrow><msubsup><mrow><mi>FP</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>1</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>±</mo></mrow></msubsup><mo>/</mo><msubsup><mrow><mi>FP</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>3</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>±</mo></mrow></msubsup><mo>/</mo><msubsup><mrow><mi>FP</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>41</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>42</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>43</mn></mrow><mrow><mo>±</mo></mrow></msubsup></mrow></math></span> with the subscripts characterizing the features of FPs for the Limit, Special, and General cases, respectively.

The goal of this work is to prove that a generalized asymptotic safety scenario allows us to formulate physically viable nonassociative QG theories using effective models defined by generic off-diagonal solutions and nonlinear symmetries in nonassociative geometric flow and gravity theories. We elaborate on a new nonholonomic functional renormalization techniques with parametric renormalization group, RG, flow equations for effective actions supplemented by certain canonical two-loop counter-terms. The geometric constructions and quantum deformations are performed for nonassociative phase spaces modelled as R-flux deformed cotangent Lorentz bundles.
