IndisputableMonolith.Chemistry.AtomicRadii
AtomicRadii module supplies shellNumber and radius proxies for phi-ladder atomic scaling in Recognition Science chemistry. Researchers modeling atomic properties via eight-tick octave structure without per-element tuning would cite it. The module consists of definitions and supporting lemmas atop PeriodicTable imports.
claimThe module defines the 1-indexed shell number function $n(Z)$ for atomic number $Z$ together with shell radius proxy, screening factor, and normalized radius functions that scale atomic radii on the $\phi$-ladder.
background
This module sits in the Chemistry domain and imports PeriodicTable, whose doc states it supplies an 'Octave ↔ eight-tick mapping for chemistry: φ-tier rails with a fixed set of block offsets (s/p/d/f) and an eight-window neutrality predicate' together with a 'minimal, zero-parameter API surface'. It also imports Constants, whose doc identifies the RS time quantum $ au_0 = 1$ tick. The module DOC_COMMENT specifies that shellNumber is 1-indexed for atomic radii scaling.
proof idea
this is a definition module, no proofs
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module feeds the Electronegativity module whose doc describes 'Electronegativity from φ-Ladder Scaling (CH-008)' and states that 'RS mechanism: EN ~ distToNextClosure^(-1) modulated by shell number'. It supplies the shell structure component required for downstream electronegativity and radius predictions inside the eight-tick framework.
scope and limits
- Does not compute numerical radii from experimental datasets.
- Does not introduce element-specific fitting parameters.
- Does not prove direct links to physical constants beyond imported modules.
- Does not address relativistic corrections or many-body effects.
