  A machine-checked library states that a discrete recognition record has finite capacity, and that this limit sets the maximum rate of reliable information transmission.

  A machine-checked proof shows that a Gaussian channel's capacity strictly increases when the signal grows, a fact that matches the classical Shannon formula.

  Mutual information, a measure of how much one signal reveals about another, can never be negative; the Recognition Science library formalizes this as a theorem.

  A formula for the maximum rate of error-free data transmission, and what a machine-checked proof does and does not establish about it.

  A machine-checked library records an intended link between a discrete record of events and the eight-step cycle in Recognition Science, without yet proving that link.

  A machine-checked theorem shows why the golden ratio, the framework's central constant, can be approached but never hit exactly by any rational computation.

  Quantum computers can explore many possibilities at once; a Recognition Science sketch ties that power to an eight-step recognition cycle, but the sketch is not a proof.

• Information Compression

  Compression is the art of saying the same thing in fewer bits; its mathematical ceiling has been known since 1948, and a new framework re-reads that ceiling as a cost.

• Information Compression Compression Falsifier

  A machine-checked structure that names the three ways a compression claim could be wrong, and proves at least one must fail.

  Data compression is not just a practical trick: in one formal account it is the act of lowering a forced recognition cost, with entropy as the floor.

• Information Compression English Is Redundant

  English text carries far more information than it needs, and information theory explains exactly how much can be removed.

  Most strings of data cannot be shortened without losing information, a fact that underpins both file compression and the limits of knowledge itself.

  Minimum description length, the principle that the best model is the shortest one, takes a specific mathematical form in Recognition Science.

  A proposed measure of how much structured data can be losslessly compressed, with a formal proof that its core cost function is well-behaved.
