  10# Cubic ↔ Simplicial Equivalence (Addressing Beltracchi §5)
  11
  12This module answers Philip Beltracchi's §5 concern: the canonical RS
  13ledger is isomorphic to `ℤ^3` (hypercubic), but Regge calculus is
  14defined on simplicial complexes. Is the passage from one to the
  15other content-free?
  16
  17## The standard triangulation
  18
  19Every 3-cube can be subdivided into 6 congruent tetrahedra (the
  20"Freudenthal" or "path-simplex" triangulation). The subdivision:
  21
  22* adds **internal** edges (diagonals of cube faces, body diagonal);
  23* adds **internal** triangles (the new 2-faces that split the cube
  24  into tetrahedra);
  25* does **not** change the vertex set: every vertex of the tetrahedra
  26  is already a vertex of the cube.
  27
  28The Regge deficit angle on a hinge is `2π − Σ θ_h^{(σ)}`. On internal
  29edges (diagonals), the dihedral angles of the six tetrahedra sum to
  30`2π` exactly, so the deficit is zero on every internal edge. Only
  31the *original* cube edges can carry non-zero deficit, and on those
  32the deficit agrees with the deficit computed in the cubic
  33formulation.
  34
  35## What this module proves
  36
  37Rather than formalize the full Freudenthal triangulation (which
  38requires 3-dimensional geometry machinery beyond the current stack),
  39we prove the **structural invariance** that makes the cubic↔simplicial
  40equivalence rigorous:
  41
  421. `zero_deficit_hinges_drop_out`: adding "extra" hinges that carry
  43   zero deficit does not change the Regge sum.
  44
  452. `regge_sum_is_hinge_additive`: the Regge sum decomposes as a sum
  46   over hinge classes, so one can separate original and refinement
  47   hinges.
  48
  493. `cubic_simplicial_action_equal`: if the original cubic hinges
  50   carry the same deficit angles in both the cubic and simplicial
  51   presentations, then the two Regge sums agree. This is the precise
  52   statement behind "triangulating a cube doesn't change the
  53   action" — the added hinges have deficit zero.
  54
  554. `cubic_calibration_carries_to_refinement`: if `G` is a weighted
  56   ledger graph whose cubic-hinge discharge of the linearization
  57   hypothesis holds, then the simplicial-refinement discharge
  58   follows with the same `κ`.
  59
  60These match what one would prove geometrically via Cayley-Menger
  61for the 6-tetrahedral decomposition. The computational content is
  62encoded at the level of hinge lists, which is where the Regge sum
  63lives in Lean.
  64
  65Zero `sorry`, zero new `axiom`.

 146
 147/-- A **simplicial refinement** of a cubic hinge list consists of:
 148    - the original cubic hinges, preserved;
 149    - additional hinges on internal diagonals, required to carry
 150      zero deficit on the conformal edge-length field.
 151
 152    This is the Lean abstraction of the Freudenthal triangulation.
 153    The physical content — that internal diagonals carry zero
 154    deficit because the dihedral angles of the 6 congruent
 155    tetrahedra sum to `2π` — is the hypothesis carried by
 156    `extra_trivial`. -/

 171    simplicial refinement is built by adding only zero-deficit hinges
 172    to the original cubic list, the Regge sum is unchanged. -/

 181/-! ## §4. Application: cubic discharge carries to refinements -/
 182
 183/-- **COROLLARY.** The cubic linearization discharge extends
 184    automatically to any simplicial refinement whose extra hinges
 185    carry zero deficit on every conformal field.
 186
 187    This is the Lean statement of Philip's observation that adding
 188    faces to divide the hypercube into simplices does not change
 189    the Regge action *provided* the new faces have zero deficit.
 190    Our `extra_trivial` predicate is exactly that provision. -/

 205/-- **COROLLARY.** Under the same conditions, the refinement-level
 206    calibration against the ledger graph `G` holds: the Regge sum
 207    on the refined hinge list equals `κ · laplacian_action`.
 208    This means the `CalibratedAgainstGraph` predicate (from
 209    `SimplicialDeficitDischarge.lean`) carries over to refinements. -/

 221/-! ## §5. Diagnostic: the equivalence is fully invariant -/
 222
 223/-- **MASTER DIAGNOSTIC.** The cubic and simplicial presentations
 224    of the same ledger data produce the **same** J-cost ↔ Regge
 225    identification, under the only physically reasonable hypothesis
 226    that internal (diagonal) hinges of the simplicial refinement
 227    carry zero deficit on the conformal field.
 228
 229    This is the Lean-level answer to Philip's §5 concern: one can
 230    work on cubes or on simplices; the J-cost ↔ Regge identity is
 231    the same equation, with the same coupling `κ = 8 φ⁵`. The
 232    triangulation is a choice of *presentation*, not of physics. -/
