Explanation of transitionRadius_pos

(1) In plain English, the declaration states that for every natural number k, the value transitionRadius k is strictly greater than zero.

(2) In Recognition Science this matters because the galactic rotation curve is constructed from five regimes whose transition points lie at successive powers of phi. Positivity of each radius guarantees that the sequence of regimes is ordered along the positive real line, supplying a parameter-free geometric skeleton for the model.

(3) The formal statement is:

theorem transitionRadius_pos (k : ℕ) : 0 < transitionRadius k :=
  pow_pos phi_pos k

It declares a theorem that, for any natural number k, proves the inequality 0 < transitionRadius k. The proof applies the library fact pow_pos to the already-established positivity of phi and the exponent k.

(4) Visible dependencies and certificates in the supplied source are the definition transitionRadius, the companion theorem transitionRadius_ratio, the count rotationRegime_count, and the bundling structure galacticRotationCert whose radius_always_pos field is exactly this theorem.

(5) The declaration does not prove the physical correspondence of the five regimes to observed rotation curves, the derivation of those regimes from the J-cost functional equation, or any link to the broader forcing chain; it only establishes positivity of the radius sequence.

Aspects Recognition does not yet address:

  • Any empirical matching of the five regimes to galactic data
  • Derivation of the regimes themselves from the J-cost equation
  • Connection to the master forcing chain in other modules
