OntologyPredicates supplies the operational definition of existence in Recognition Science via the predicate RSExists. A configuration counts as existing precisely when it is positive and carries zero defect under the J-cost functional. Researchers formalizing the emergence of logic or modal structure from cost minimization cite this module. The content consists of definitions together with direct equivalences to the Law of Existence theorem, without additional proof obligations.

claim$RSExists(x) : x > 0$ and $defect(x) = 0$, where $defect(x) = 0$ is the condition that $x$ is stable under the $J$-cost functional from the Law of Existence.

background

The module imports Cost, LawOfExistence, DiscretenessForcing and PhiForcing. LawOfExistence states that $x$ exists if and only if $defect(x) = 0$. DiscretenessForcing supplies the explicit form $J(x) = (x + x^{-1})/2 - 1$, whose unique minimum occurs at $x = 1$, equivalently $J(e^t) = cosh(t) - 1$. PhiForcing shows that self-similarity on a discrete ledger with this cost forces the golden ratio as the scaling factor. RSExists therefore translates the abstract Law of Existence into an operational predicate that requires both positivity and zero defect.

proof idea

This is a definition module. The central predicate RSExists is introduced directly from the two conditions in the module doc-comment. The listed siblings supply immediate equivalences (rs_exists_iff_law_exists, rs_exists_iff_defect_zero) that link the new predicate to the upstream Law of Existence statement; no further lemmas or tactic sequences are required.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The predicates defined here are imported by GodelDissolution (to dissolve self-reference obstructions), InitialCondition (to ground low-entropy initial states), LogicFromCost (to derive consistency from cost minimization) and ModalOntologyStructure (to interpret possibility and necessity). The module therefore supplies the concrete ontology required by the cost-theoretic resolution of Gödel and the Past Hypothesis. It directly implements the selection-by-cost-minimization step stated in the Law of Existence doc-comment.
