IndisputableMonolith.Ethics.ConsentInterfaceFromJCost
The module defines the agent recognition value functional as 1 minus J of the sigma ratio, deriving an ethics interface from the J-cost in Recognition Science. Researchers formalizing consent from recognition processes would cite it when extending the forcing chain to ethical domains. It consists entirely of definitions and supporting properties with no theorem proofs inside the module.
claimThe agent recognition value functional is $V(\sigma) = 1 - J(\sigma)$, where $J$ satisfies the Recognition Composition Law and $\sigma$ denotes the sigma ratio from the Cost module.
background
The module sits in the Ethics domain and imports the RS time quantum $\tau_0 = 1$ tick from Constants together with the Cost module that supplies the J-cost. It introduces the value functional directly from the supplied doc-comment, along with sibling definitions such as IsConsensual (tied to nondecreasing J-cost) and ConsentInterfaceCert. The local setting applies the J-uniqueness (T5) and Recognition Composition Law to agent recognition, treating sigma_ratio as the argument that converts cost into a value measure.
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the core value functional that grounds the consent interface in Recognition Science ethics. It applies the J-cost from the upstream forcing chain (T5 J-uniqueness) to ethical recognition and provides the starting point for sibling results such as consensual_iff_jcost_nondecreasing and sigma_preserving_consensual. No downstream theorems are recorded, so the module functions as the interface definition rather than a derived lemma.
