Gravity Seven Gaps Hinge Stationarity Core Sourced Ratio Is Admissible

A machine-checked proof shows how a specific strain ratio can be derived from minimizing a cost, and exactly where the model's input enters.

The sourced ratio

The declaration sourced_ratio_isAdmissible is a theorem in the Recognition Science library. It establishes that a particular construction, called the sourced ratio family, satisfies a formal admissibility predicate. In plain terms, the theorem proves that a ratio of recognition strains can be derived from a principle of minimizing a cost function, provided one explicitly adds a coupling term to that cost. The theorem is proved in the machine-checked library of formal theorems, with zero unproved axioms.

The construction begins with a cost function called recognition cost, a measure of the expense of a recognition event. The framework's core cost function is J(x) = (x + 1/x)/2 - 1. The sourced action adds a linear term to the sum of these costs: Phi(t) = sum_i (cosh t_i - 1) - (kappa*delta/n) * sum_i t_i. The theorem proves that this action has a unique global minimizer at t_i = arsinh(kappa*delta/n). This means that, for a given deficit delta and coupling strength kappa, the strain ratios that minimize the cost are all equal to that specific value.

The theorem then shows that this minimizer produces a ratio whose logarithm approximates kappa*delta with a cubic error term. The explicit bound is |n * arsinh(c/n) - c| <= |c|^3 / (6 n^2). This is the sourced stationary ratio. The admissibility predicate requires this approximation to hold uniformly for all mesh scales h below a threshold h0, with constants that do not depend on h. The theorem closes this requirement end-to-end, providing an explicit constant C_R = |kappa|^3 * C_K^3 * h0^3 / (6 n^2).

The theorem also records what it does not do. The coupling term -(kappa*delta/n) * sum_i t_i is a constitutive model choice, not a derived consequence of the bare recognition ledger. The docstring is explicit: this term is NOT derived from the bare RecognitionLedger, and no such derivation is claimed. The theorem's proof also requires a hypothesis bounding the deficit, and it passes through the curvature condition as a hypothesis rather than deriving it.

In Recognition Science, this result is part of a larger program to derive gravitational structure from recognition costs. The theorem provides a rigorous, kernel-checked foundation for one specific mechanism, while honestly flagging where a model input enters. It is a precise statement about a mathematical construction, not a claim about the physical universe.

THEOREM sourced_unique_minimizer · IndisputableMonolith/Gravity/SevenGaps/HingeStationarityCore.lean
/-- **THEOREM (item 3, sourced unique minimizer).** For every n (no
n >= 1 hypothesis is needed; at n = 0 both conjuncts are trivially true
on the empty tick set) and every total source strength c, the sourced
action
Phi(t) = sum_i (cosh t_i - 1) - (c/n) * sum_i t_i over t : Fin n → ℝ has
the unique global minimizer t_i = arsinh(c/n) for all i. The stationarity
condition sinh t_i = c/n is genuinely FORCED here (contrast with the
circular raw 1b route, `budget_implies_ratio_without_stationarity`), but
only because the deficit-source coupling was supplied as a MODEL input. -/

THEOREM sourced_ratio_isAdmissible · IndisputableMonolith/Gravity/SevenGaps/HingeStationarityCore.lean
/-- **THEOREM (item 6, end-to-end admissibility of the sourced ratio).**
Under the curvature bound |delta(h)| <= C_K h^2 on (0, h0), the
sourced-stationary construction yields an admissible family with the
EXPLICIT uniform constant C_R = |kappa|^3 * C_K^3 * h0^3 / (6 n^2),
computed from the cubic error bound `sourced_ratio_cubic_error`:
|log x(h) - kappa*delta(h)| = |n*arsinh(kappa*delta(h)/n) - kappa*delta(h)|
<= |kappa*delta(h)|^3/(6n^2) <= (|kappa| C_K h^2)^3/(6n^2)
<= (|kappa|^3 C_K^3 h0^3/(6n^2)) * h^3 for h in (0, h0).

Two honest disclosures. (a) The curvature conjunct |delta(h)| <= C_K h^2
of the conclusion is a PASSTHROUGH of the hypothesis `hδ`, restated inside
the predicate only so the admissibility record is self-contained; the new
content of this theorem is entirely the bridge conjunct. (b) There is no
0 < h0 hypothesis: for h0 <= 0 the interval (0, h0) is empty and the
predicate is vacuously true, so adding positivity would not strengthen
the conclusion; the statement carries content exactly when 0 < h0. -/

What this page does not claim

The sourced ratio is derived from the bare recognition ledger without any additional model input. The theorem proves that the physical universe obeys this ratio. The curvature condition is derived from recognition principles; it is passed through as a hypothesis.
