CostAlgebra defines the J-cost function as the unique solution to the Recognition Composition Law with explicit form J(x) = (x + x^{-1})/2 - 1. Algebraists extending Recognition Science to ring and category structures cite the module as the base algebraic layer. It organizes imported lemmas from Cost and FunctionalEquation into a coherent package of definitions and basic properties.

claim$J(x) := ½(x + x^{-1}) - 1$ satisfies the Recognition Composition Law $J(xy) + J(x/y) = 2J(x)J(y) + 2J(x) + 2J(y)$.

background

The module lives in the Algebra domain and imports the core Cost definitions together with the T5 uniqueness helpers in FunctionalEquation and the Aczél compatibility layer. It introduces J as the cost function obeying the Recognition Composition Law, plus supporting facts such as J_at_one, J_reciprocal, J_nonneg, J_defect_form, SatisfiesRCL, and RCL_holds. The local setting is the derivation of all physics from a single functional equation, where J realizes the T5 uniqueness step in the forcing chain.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module is imported by PhiRing and RecognitionCategory, supplying the J-cost foundation those constructions require. It directly encodes the T5 J-uniqueness landmark (J(x) = (x + x^{-1})/2 - 1) from the forcing chain and the Recognition Composition Law.
