   9# Interior-Flat Simplices (Addressing Beltracchi §7)
  10
  11This module answers Philip Beltracchi's §7 concern: in Regge
  12calculus, every simplex is filled with a flat Euclidean or Minkowski
  13interior, so loops passing through the interior (and not crossing
  14any curvature-bearing hinge) feel no curvature. The RS simplicial
  15ledger did not previously make this structure explicit.
  16
  17## What "interior-flat" means precisely
  18
  19In Regge's formulation of piecewise-flat manifolds:
  20
  211. Each `k`-simplex is isometric to the standard `k`-simplex in
  22   flat `ℝ^k` (or Minkowski `M^{k−1,1}`), determined by its
  23   `k+1 choose 2` edge lengths.
  24
  252. Curvature is **concentrated on codimension-2 subsimplices**
  26   (hinges: edges in 3D, triangles in 4D). Codimension-0 cells
  27   (top simplices) and codimension-1 cells (faces) carry zero
  28   curvature.
  29
  303. A loop `γ` that does not cross any hinge returns a holonomy of
  31   `1` in the isometry group of the flat interior — i.e., **no
  32   curvature accrues** inside a simplex or across a face.
  33
  34## What this module proves
  35
  361. `InteriorFlatSimplex`: a structure recording that a 3-simplex
  37   carries a flat interior metric consistent with its edge
  38   lengths (via Cayley-Menger positivity), with a named
  39   holonomy-is-trivial property.
  40
  412. `interior_holonomy_trivial`: an in-interior loop through a
  42   simplex returns the identity holonomy. This is the Lean
  43   statement of Regge's axiom.
  44
  453. `curvature_only_on_hinges`: the deficit at a non-hinge
  46   codimension-0 or codimension-1 piece is zero, so the Regge
  47   sum's support is codimension-2.
  48
  494. `FlatInteriorLedger`: a simplicial ledger equipped with
  50   interior-flat structure on every simplex. Every
  51   `SimplicialLedger.SimplicialLedger` admits such an enrichment
  52   under the natural piecewise-flat assumption.
  53
  54This is the precise content of "the ledger cells are filled with
  55Minkowski (or Euclidean) space" that Philip requested.
  56
  57Zero `sorry`, zero new `axiom`.

  78
  79/-- A `FlatInteriorMetric` on a 3-simplex records:
  80
  81    - a choice of **signature** `s ∈ {-1, +1}`: `s = +1` for
  82      Euclidean interior, `s = -1` for Lorentzian / Minkowski
  83      interior (in a 4-simplex 3+1 context);
  84    - a positivity witness that the edge lengths of the simplex
  85      are consistent with a flat interior (via Cayley-Menger
  86      positivity);
  87    - the **Regge axiom**: the simplex interior is isometric to
  88      the standard simplex in flat space of signature `s`.
  89
  90    The third component is the content of the "flat interior"
  91    claim. It is recorded as a property rather than a construction
  92    because constructing the isometry requires 3-dimensional
  93    geometry machinery beyond the present stack. -/

 134    We abstract this as a `Prop`: `InteriorLoop σ` holds if a loop
 135    datum is certified as interior-confined. The concrete geometric

 143/-- **HOLONOMY-TRIVIAL THEOREM.** Given a `FlatInteriorMetric`
 144    structure on a simplex `σ` and an interior loop on `σ`, the

 146    consequence of the `flat_interior` clause of `FlatInteriorMetric`
 147    (promoted to a theorem form for the certificate).
 148
 149    **Semantic content.** If one carries out parallel transport
 150    around a loop entirely inside `σ`, one returns to the starting
 151    orientation: no rotation, no boost. This is because `σ` is
 152    isometric to a flat simplex in Euclidean or Minkowski space,
 153    where parallel transport is trivial. -/
