We investigate an emergent gravity in (4 + 1) dimensions underlying a geometric torsion H3 in 1.5 order formulation. We show that an emergent pair-symmetric 4th order curvature tensor, underlying a NS field theory, governs a torsion free geometry and may be identified with the Riemann type tensor. Interestingly a pair anti-symmetric 4th order is shown to incorporate a dynamical correction underlying a H3 propagation and is identified as a non-perturbation (NP) correction. In particular the NP-dynamics is governed by the U (1) gauge invariant F4 in second order underlying onshell NS field in first order. It is shown that a NP-theory of quantum gravity is elegantly described with an axion, and hence a quintessence, coupling to the Riemannian geometries. The curvatures are appropriately worked out to argue for d=12 emergent F -theory. Investigation reveals that a pair of (M M )10-brane is created across an event horizon in F -theory. We show that an emergent M -theory in a decoupling limit may be identified with the bosonic sector of N = 1 supergravity in d=11.
