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
