Defines combinatorial data on the 3-cube Q₃: vertices, edges, faces, active versus passive edges, wallpaper groups, and face-wallpaper pairs. Constants work on higher-order fine-structure corrections cites these counts and equalities. The module is definitional, with short equality lemmas pinning the cardinalities.

claimCombinatorial data on the 3-cube $Q_3$: vertex, edge, and face sets; partitions into active and passive edges; wallpaper groups and face-wallpaper pairs, as input to higher-order corrections of the fine-structure constant $\alpha$.

background

In Recognition Science the spatial dimension $D=3$ and the eight-tick octave (period $2^3$) force the 3-cube $Q_3$ as the natural discrete geometry for one recognition cycle. Its $8$ vertices, $12$ edges, and $6$ faces supply the counting data that enter higher-order corrections to $\alpha^{-1}$ (the RS band $(137.030, 137.039)$).

The parent Constants module supplies the RS-native time quantum $\tau_0=1$ tick and the base constants. This file layers the $Q_3$ combinatorics: named sets for vertices, edges, faces; a split of edges into active and passive; wallpaper groups; and pairings of faces with wallpaper data. Equality lemmas record the expected cardinalities so downstream alpha expansions can quote them by name.

proof idea

Definition module. Each object is introduced as a concrete finite set or natural-number count; companion _eq lemmas are one-line cardinality or set-equality checks against the standard $Q_3$ numbers (8 vertices, 12 edges, 6 faces, and the derived active/passive and wallpaper counts). No deep proof content.

why it matters in Recognition Science

Higher-order $\alpha$ work needs a fixed, named source for $Q_3$ incidence data rather than ad-hoc numerals. The module sits in the Constants domain beside the base RS units ($c=1$, $\hbar=\varphi^{-5}$, $G=\varphi^5/\pi$) and feeds any expansion that weights edges, faces, or wallpaper symmetries on the eight-tick cube. No downstream theorems are wired yet in the graph; the intended consumers are alpha-correction assemblies that quote these counts. Ties directly to forcing landmarks T7 (eight-tick octave) and T8 ($D=3$).
