Defines the typed 4D periodic Freudenthal torus: vertices as 4-tuples of ZMod N, one-step bit translations along each coordinate, and cancellation/injectivity lemmas for those steps. Gravity and seven-gaps authors cite it as the 4D carrier skeleton for period-doubling maps. Content is mostly definitions plus short algebraic lemmas on modular bit flips.

claimThe module introduces the 4D periodic Freudenthal carrier: vertices $V_4(N) = (\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^4$, coordinate bit values in $\{0,1\}$, and one-step translations $\mathrm{addBit}_i$ that add a bit along the $i$-th axis mod $N$. It proves cancellation and injectivity facts for these steps when $1 < N$, including that agreeing one-step images force equal bits.

background

Recognition Science uses discrete toroidal carriers to stage metric refinement and period-doubling between successive lattice levels. The 3D Freudenthal torus already supports the Gap-2 period-doubling track; this module is the matching 4D typed carrier.

Vertices are 4-tuples over $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$. A bit is a boolean treated as $0$ or $1$ in the ring. The primitive move is adding a bit to one coordinate (mod $N$). Sibling lemmas record how true/false bits compose, that a true step is never the identity when $1 < N$, and that two-step bit paths are nontrivial.

The local cancellation fact (if two one-step bit translations of the same coordinate agree, the bits agree for $1 < N$) is the 4D copy of the corresponding 3D lemma. Together these give a clean skeleton for level-to-level maps without continuum geometry.

proof idea

This is primarily a definition-and-lemmas module, not a single deep theorem. It fixes Vertex4 and the bit/addBit API, then proves a cluster of short facts by modular arithmetic and case splits on booleans: false is a no-op, true is $v \mapsto v+1$ on one axis, true steps are injective and not the identity for $N > 1$, and two successive bit steps cannot be the identity. The cancellation lemma is the 4D analogue of the 3D one-step uniqueness argument: equal images after adding bits on the same coordinate force the bits equal when $1 < N$.

why it matters in Recognition Science

Downstream, Gravity.SevenGaps.Gap2FreudenthalPeriodDoubling4D imports this module as the typed 4D carrier for the Gap-2 period-doubling track. That file is the 4D mirror of the 3D Gap-2 construction and supplies level-to-level maps (including the mod-$N$ vertex projection) that a 4D MetricRefinementFamily needs at the typed skeleton.

In the broader RS geometry stack, the Freudenthal torus is the discrete stage on which octave/period structure and refinement between rungs are made rigorous before continuum limits. The 4D copy keeps the same bit-step algebra while matching the spacetime dimension forced elsewhere in the forcing chain ($D = 3$ spatial plus time, or the 4D carrier used by the gravity gaps). Without these injectivity and cancellation facts, period-doubling maps on vertices would not be well-defined or invertible at the skeleton level.
