The CrystalSymmetry module defines allowed rotation orders for crystallographic symmetries within Recognition Science. Researchers deriving BCC, FCC, and HCP structures from eight-tick coordination would cite these constraints on lattice periodicity. The module organizes definitions of rotation orders together with lemmas that exclude orders five and seven.

claimThe allowed rotation orders are the positive integers $n$ such that a rotation by angle $2\pi/n$ preserves a three-dimensional periodic lattice; the set is $\{2,3,4,6\}$.

background

This module sits in the Chemistry domain and imports CrystalStructure, whose doc states that BCC, FCC, and HCP emerge from RS principles via 8-tick coordination, and Constants, which fixes the time quantum $\tau_0 = 1$ tick. It introduces the set allowedRotationOrders, the predicate isCrystallographic, and the enumeration CrystalSystem with its counts. The upstream CrystalStructure result ties coordination number 8 directly to the 8-tick ledger period.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module supplies the symmetry filter required by CrystalStructure to obtain the three RS-native lattices from the eight-tick octave (T7). It feeds the classification of crystal systems and point groups that follows from the forcing chain.
