Abstract

We present a Lean‑verified derivation layer that is parameter‑free at the proof layer and a single, meter‑native bridge that turns dimensionless theorems into SI equalities without introducing tunable parameters into proofs. Calibrations enter only in the metrology layer. Building on a sorry‑free Lean development, we formalize: (i) a symmetric cost functional with log‑axis form $J(e^t)=\cosh t-1$ and a local EL/log‑axis stationarity result under explicit convexity hypotheses; (ii) the golden‑ratio fixed point with uniqueness and positivity; and (iii) discrete results such as the positive ledger gap $\delta_{\!\text{gap}}=\ln\varphi$ (and a threshold schema).

We then state and mechanize a Reality Bridge: a structure‑preserving evaluation that identifies cost with action $(J\mapsto S/\hbar)$, one tick with $\tau_0$, and one hop with $\lambda_{\mathrm{rec}}$, with $c$ the maximal hop rate. Under the bridge, we adopt the Planck‑form calibration $\lambda_{\mathrm{rec}}=\sqrt{\hbar G/c^{3}}$ (with a documented $\pi$‑normalized display variant) as a metrology choice; displayed identities do not feed back into proofs. We further verify classical correspondences (discrete‑to‑continuum continuity, gauge potentials unique up to a constant, and local EL/log‑axis stationarity), and provide a structure‑only spectra demonstrator with unified zpow ratios. The full artifact—including lemma anchors for all claims—is publicly available upon unblinding, enabling audit‑level reproducibility and code review.

What this provides

Parameter‑free proofs

Unique symmetric cost; golden‑ratio fixed point; positive ledger gap—proved upstream of any units.

Single Reality Bridge

One meter‑native mapping ($J\mapsto S/\hbar$, tick $\to\,\tau_0$, hop $\to\,\lambda_{\mathrm{rec}}$) without tuning.

Audit & reproducibility

Sorry‑free Lean artifact with lemma anchors; abstracted metrology choices and documented uncertainties.

Pipeline at a glance

1) Dimensionless proofs

Cost on the log axis: $$J(e^t)=\cosh t - 1$$ Golden‑ratio fixed point: $$\varphi=\tfrac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$$ Ledger gap: $$\delta_{\!\text{gap}}=\ln\varphi>0$$

2) Single Reality Bridge

Cost $\mapsto$ action: $$J \;\leftrightarrow\; S/\hbar$$ Tick: $$\tau_{\mathrm{rec}}\;=\;\tau_0\,\frac{2\pi}{8\ln\varphi}$$ Hop: $$\lambda_{\mathrm{rec}}\;=\;\sqrt{\dfrac{\hbar G}{c^{3}}}$$

One proof spine, one meter‑native landing. Units live in the bridge; proofs stay upstream—no tunable parameters.

What reviewers can check quickly

No knobs in proofs

Dimensionless results (unique cost; $\varphi$; $\ln\varphi$) are sorry‑free and parameter‑free.

Bridge non‑circularity

Units are attached after proofs via a single functor; unit relabelings do not change $J$.

Internal SI cross‑check

Time‑first vs length‑first landings must agree within combined uncertainty $u_{\rm comb}$.

FAQ

What does “meter‑native” mean?

Proofs are dimensionless. A single bridge assigns SI labels once; no domain‑specific rescaling.

Where could this fail?

Failure of the internal SI cross‑check, or a proof‑layer bug. Both are explicit and testable.

How is this different from dimensional analysis?

We expose a semantics‑preserving functor from proofs to units, with explicit uncertainty and no tuning.
