(1) Plain English
CoronalLyapunovCert is a Lean record (structure) that bundles four proved properties of the function coronalTime k (the coronal timescale at rung k on the φ-ladder). In ordinary language it asserts: every timescale is positive; each rung multiplies the previous by exactly the golden ratio φ; the sequence is strictly increasing; and the ratio of any two adjacent rungs equals φ.
(2) Role in Recognition Science
The certificate records that coronal Lyapunov times obey the same self-similar φ-scaling that Recognition Science derives from the J-cost functional equation. It therefore supplies a parameter-free mathematical backbone for the predicted coronal timescale ladder (Alfvén crossing, granulation, loop lifetime, etc.) described in the module.
(3) Reading the formal statement
structure CoronalLyapunovCert where
time_pos : ∀ k, 0 < coronalTime k
one_step_ratio : ∀ k, coronalTime (k + 1) = coronalTime k * phi
strictly_increasing : ∀ k, coronalTime k < coronalTime (k + 1)
adjacent_ratio_eq_phi : ∀ k, coronalTime (k + 1) / coronalTime k = phi
Each field is a universal statement over k : ℕ. The structure is instantiated by the definition coronalLyapunovCert that supplies the four theorems as its fields.
(4) Visible dependencies and certificates
- Depends on
coronalTimeandreferenceTime(both defined in the same module) and onphifromConstants. - Instantiated by coronalLyapunovCert using the supporting theorems coronalTime_pos, coronalTime_succ_ratio, coronalTime_strictly_increasing and coronal_adjacent_ratio.
- No external axioms or
sorryappear in the supplied source for this structure.
(5) What the declaration does not prove
It proves only the listed algebraic properties of the abstract function coronalTime. It does not prove any physical measurement, the existence of the predicted timescales in the solar corona, or the falsifiability criterion stated in the module documentation.
