   6# QFT-011: Running Couplings from φ-Scaling
   7
   8**Target**: Derive the running of coupling constants from φ-ladder scaling.
   9
  10## Running Couplings
  11
  12In quantum field theory, coupling constants "run" - they change with energy scale:
  13- α (electromagnetic): Increases with energy (1/137 → 1/127 at Z mass)
  14- α_s (strong): Decreases with energy (asymptotic freedom!)
  15- α_W (weak): Decreases slightly
  16
  17This is described by the Renormalization Group (RG).
  18
  19## RS Mechanism
  20
  21In Recognition Science:
  22- Different φ-ladder rungs = different energy scales
  23- J-cost optimization varies with scale
  24- Running couplings = how J-cost changes with φ-rung
