plain-language theorem explainer

Any inhabited carrier K admitting a non-trivial distinction forces the complete Recognition Science chain: absolute floor on K and on Bool, spacetime emergence with Lorentzian signature, time as orbit, and the algebraic derivations of c=1, ℏ and G from φ. Researchers deriving physics from bare distinguishability cite this as the master bundling result. The term-mode proof assembles the RealityCertificate by direct application of the upstream lemmas for each field.

Claim. Let $K$ be an inhabited type admitting a distinction $h : ∃ x,y : K, x ≠ y$. Then a RealityCertificate $K$ exists whose fields are the distinction $h$, the absolute-floor witness supplied by bare distinguishability, the native logic-realization instance, the absolute floor on Bool, the spacetime-emergence certificate, the light-cone condition, the time-as-orbit certificate, and the constant derivations $c=1$, $ℏ$ algebraic in $φ$, $G$ algebraic in $φ$.

background

RealityCertificate is the structure packaging the deliverables of the forcing chain for a carrier $K$. Its fields record the distinction hypothesis, the absolute-floor witness (Nonempty (AbsoluteFloorWitness $K$)), the logic-realization instance, the unconditional Bool absolute floor, spacetime emergence with Lorentzian signature, light-cone condition, time-as-orbit certificate, and the algebraic expressions for the constants. The module supplies the master theorem that threads absolute-floor closure, universal instantiation from distinction, time-as-orbit, spacetime emergence, and constant derivations into one deliverable. Upstream, absolute_floor_of_bare_distinguishability states that bare distinguishability supplies the nontrivial specification part of the absolute-floor witness, while bool_absolute_floor realizes it on the minimal carrier Bool.

proof idea

The proof is a term that constructs the RealityCertificate by supplying each field from an upstream result. The absolute_floor field is filled by absolute_floor_of_bare_distinguishability applied to $h$; native_realization by UniversalInstantiationFromDistinction.exists_logicRealization_of_distinction $K$ $h$; bool_floor by bool_absolute_floor; spacetime by spacetime_emergence_cert_nonempty; light_cone by lightlike_iff_speed_c; time_orbit by timeAsOrbitCert_inhabited; and the constants by c_rs_eq_one, ℏ_algebraic_in_φ, G_algebraic_in_φ respectively.

why it matters

This declaration bundles the forcing chain from one distinction into a single named theorem. It is invoked by reality_from_bool to produce the certificate on Bool and by terminalArrow_exists to obtain the terminal arrow for any distinguished carrier. Within the framework it completes the master forcing chain from the bare hypothesis of distinguishability through absolute-floor closure, spacetime emergence, and φ-derived constants, as described in the module documentation.
