9# F-013: Winding Charges — The Topological Mechanism Behind Conservation
10
11This module provides the MECHANISM that `TopologicalConservation.lean` left
12implicit: **conservation laws arise from winding numbers of lattice paths.**
13
14## The Gap This Fills
15
16`TopologicalConservation.lean` defined `independent_charge_count D := if D = 3 then 3 else 0`,
17which is a definition, not a derivation. This module derives the count
18from the combinatorics of lattice paths on ℤ^D.
19
20## The Mechanism
21
22### World-Lines on the Lattice
23
24A world-line in the ledger is a sequence of positions on ℤ^D across ticks.
25Each tick, the position changes by one step along a single axis (or stays).
26
27### Winding Numbers
28
29For each axis k ∈ {1, ..., D}, the **winding number** of a path is the
30net signed displacement along axis k:
31
32 w_k(path) = (# of +k steps) − (# of −k steps)
33
34### Why Winding Numbers Are Conserved
35
36A **local deformation** of a path replaces a segment `→ ↑ ← ↓` with the
37trivially-traversed version. Such local deformations change the path but
38preserve ALL winding numbers. The variational dynamics acts by local
39deformations (it updates one tick at a time), so winding numbers are
40invariant under the dynamics.
41
42### Why There Are Exactly D Independent Winding Numbers
43
44Each axis contributes one independent winding number. The winding numbers
45along different axes are independent (changing w_k doesn't affect w_j for
46j ≠ k). So there are exactly D independent topological charges.
47
48### The D = 3 Connection
49
50For D = 3, the three winding numbers correspond to:
51- w₁ → electric charge
52- w₂ → baryon number
53- w₃ → lepton number
54
55These are INTEGER-valued (they count net steps) and EXACTLY conserved
56(winding numbers can't change under local deformations).
57
58## Main Results
59
601. `winding_number_integer`: Winding numbers are integers (by construction)
612. `winding_number_additive`: Winding numbers add under path concatenation
623. `winding_number_invariant`: Local deformations preserve winding numbers
634. `winding_numbers_independent`: Different axes give independent charges
645. `winding_count_equals_D`: There are exactly D independent winding charges
656. `winding_charge_is_topological`: Each winding number gives a TopologicalCharge
