IndisputableMonolith.Gravity.GalacticTimescale
This module defines the characteristic galactic memory timescale τ★ in seconds. Researchers modeling galactic dynamics or self-similar gravity structures cite these definitions. It assembles the RS time quantum with phi-forcing results from upstream modules. The module contains only definitions and no internal proofs.
claimThe characteristic galactic memory timescale τ★ (in seconds), together with τ₀^SI, ϕ-rung time, and N_galactic.
background
The module resides in the Gravity domain. It imports the fundamental RS time quantum τ₀ = 1 tick from Constants. PhiForcing establishes that φ is forced by self-similarity in a discrete ledger with J-cost. The module builds timescale expressions on these foundations, introducing sibling definitions such as tau_star_s, phi_rung_time, N_galactic, and galactic_status.
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs.
why it matters in Recognition Science
This module supplies the galactic timescale definitions that feed into parent theorems on galactic dynamics within the Gravity section. It extends the phi-forcing chain to macroscopic scales, linking the eight-tick octave to galactic memory effects.
scope and limits
- Does not derive τ★ from dynamical equations.
- Does not relate τ★ to observed galactic periods.
- Does not prove any forcing chain steps.
- Does not compute numerical estimates for τ★.
