Defines the discrete recognition ledger: entries for single recognition events, total cost, empty ledger, and balance-preserving updates. Built on J-cost, the eight-tick clock, and J-forced double-entry structure. Cited by anyone formalizing RS event accounting or conservation. Mostly structure definitions plus elementary nonnegativity, zero-cost, and balance lemmas.

claimA ledger entry is one recognition event carrying RS cost (from $J$), an eight-tick phase, and debit/credit data. A ledger is a finite collection of entries; total cost is the sum of entry costs. The empty ledger has zero cost and balanced books. An update is a debit/credit pair; applying updates preserves ledger balance (double-entry conservation). Entry cost is nonnegative and vanishes iff the event is at unity.

background

Recognition Science treats physical process as discrete recognition events on a forced ledger. The cost functional $J$ (unique under the Recognition Composition Law and normalization) measures departure from unity; $J(x)=(x+x^{-1})/2-1$. LedgerForcing shows that $J$-symmetry forces double-entry bookkeeping: every debit has a matching credit.

EightTick supplies the fundamental discrete clock: an 8-tick octave with phases $0,\pi/4,\pi/2,3\pi/4,\pi,5\pi/4,3\pi/2,7\pi/4$ (forcing chain T7). Each recognition event sits on one of these ticks.

This module packages those ingredients into concrete data: LedgerEntry as a single event with full RS payload, Ledger as a collection, totalCost as the aggregate $J$-cost, and LedgerUpdate/applyUpdate for balance-preserving mutations.

proof idea

Definition-first module. Core types (LedgerEntry, Ledger, LedgerUpdate) and constructors (mkEntry, emptyLedger, applyUpdate) are structural. Supporting lemmas are elementary: entry cost nonnegative and zero iff unity (from $J$ properties via Cost); empty ledger has zero total cost and balanced books; applying an update conserves balance (double-entry identity from LedgerForcing). No deep forcing argument lives here; the hard uniqueness and structure theorems are imported.

why it matters in Recognition Science

Infrastructure for discrete RS accounting: every recognition event becomes a ledger line with cost, phase, and balance. It sits downstream of Cost ($J$), EightTick (T7 octave), and LedgerForcing ($J$-symmetry $\Rightarrow$ double-entry). No downstream dependents are recorded in the graph yet; the module is the natural substrate for quantum-side or multi-event conservation statements that need a typed ledger rather than bare $J$ values. Closes the gap between abstract forcing (ledger must be double-entry) and a usable event log with total cost and conserved balance.
