This module assembles definitions and basic properties for gravitational lensing in Recognition Science, centered on the Schwarzschild radius and deflection formulas. Gravity modelers working in RS-native units would cite it when adapting standard lensing observables to the phi-ladder and J-cost framework. Content is organized as a flat collection of definitions and elementary lemmas with no deep proof structure.

claimDefines the Schwarzschild radius $r_s = 2GM/c^2$ together with lensing parameter, Newtonian and GR deflection angles, Einstein angle and radius, and Shapiro delay, all expressed in RS units with $c=1$.

background

The module sits in the Gravity domain and imports the RS time quantum $ au_0 = 1$ tick from Constants plus the J-cost core machinery. It adapts classical gravitational lensing quantities to the Recognition Science setting where constants are fixed by the forcing chain (T5 J-uniqueness, T8 D=3). The supplied doc-comment identifies the central object as the Schwarzschild radius $r_s = 2GM/c^2$.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs.

why it matters in Recognition Science

Supplies the lensing toolkit required by any downstream Recognition Science treatment of light deflection or time delay. It directly implements the Schwarzschild radius landmark and prepares the ground for observational tests that would use the alpha band and phi-ladder mass formula.
