Gravity Track1 Bcstructural Track1 Bc One Statement

A machine-checked library proves a placeholder: the bridge from discrete to continuous gravity is consistent, but only under named assumptions, not as a finished derivation.

The structural witness

In general relativity, the Einstein-Hilbert action is the master formula whose variation produces the field equations. In numerical and quantum approaches, physicists often discretize spacetime into a lattice, and the Regge action is the standard discrete stand-in. A central question is whether the discrete theory converges to the continuous one as the lattice spacing shrinks to zero. A second, independent question is whether the discrete geometry respects the contracted second Bianchi identity, a key consistency condition that in the continuum encodes local conservation of energy and momentum.

The declaration track1BC_one_statement in the framework's machine-checked library of formal theorems establishes a structural witness for both questions. It proves, as a formal theorem, that there exist abstract functions for the Regge and Einstein-Hilbert actions such that their difference tends to zero as spacing goes to zero, and that there exists a discrete triangulation satisfying the Schläfli identity, which implies the discrete Bianchi identity. The proof is non-vacuous: it supplies concrete witnesses, namely a flat substrate where both actions are zero and a trivial triangulation on a single point.

What this does not claim is the unconditional result. The theorem does not prove that any physical Regge triangulation converges to Einstein-Hilbert, nor that the Schläfli identity holds for a realistic curved spacetime. Those remain future work, requiring actual analytic estimates and geometric proofs. The declaration is a consistency check, showing the master theorem's hypothesis is inhabited, not a derivation of gravity from discrete principles.

THEOREM track1BC_one_statement · IndisputableMonolith/Gravity/Track1BCStructural.lean
/-- **TRACK 1.B/1.C STRUCTURAL ONE-STATEMENT**. The combined Track 1.B
(Regge-EH continuum convergence) and Track 1.C (contracted discrete
Bianchi via Schläfli identity) structural Props hold via canonical
witnesses (flat substrate for Regge-EH; Schläfli-satisfying triangulation
for Bianchi). The master theorem hypothesis input
`RegEHContinuumAndBianchi` is inhabited by `regEHContinuumAndBianchiWitness`.
The fully **unconditional** Track 1.B/1.C closure (the geometric
residual estimate + the Schläfli identity for a physical Regge
triangulation) remains future multi-session geometric work. -/

What this page does not claim

The declaration does not prove unconditional convergence of the Regge action to the Einstein-Hilbert action for any physical lattice. It does not establish the Schläfli identity for a realistic curved triangulation. It does not derive gravity from discrete principles; it only shows a formal consistency.

Verify this page

Every tagged claim above names its theorem. To check one yourself rather than trust this page, elaborate the source module with Lean 4 and audit its axiom basis:

$ lake env lean IndisputableMonolith/Gravity/Track1BCStructural.lean
expected axiom basis: [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound] (the Lean kernel's standard three; no RS-specific axioms)

A page whose claims cannot be reproduced this way does not ship. In production, every anchor links to the exact declaration in the public source release, and this block carries the build receipt for the page itself.
