JCostGeometry module collects basic algebraic properties of the J-cost function J(x) = (x + x^{-1})/2 - 1, starting from J(1) = 0. Researchers building Recognition Science foundations cite it for cost calculations ahead of topological arguments. The module consists of direct lemmas derived from the JcostCore definition.

claim$J(1) = 0$, $J(x) \geq 0$ for $x > 0$, $J(x) = J(x^{-1})$, and related identities such as the squared form and ratio conditions.

background

The module builds directly on the J-cost definition imported from IndisputableMonolith.Cost.JcostCore. It introduces no new core objects but records geometric consequences of the J function, including non-negativity and reciprocity. The local theoretical setting is the early foundation layer (F1.1.2) that supplies cost identities before any topological or dimensional results.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module supplies J-cost identities to the TopologicalVeto module, which establishes the topological capacity veto in D = 3 and the existence of the integer linking invariant only in three dimensions. It fills the F1.1.2 slot in the foundation chain that precedes F6.
