IndisputableMonolith.Gravity.Inflation
The Inflation module defines the α-attractor parameter α = φ² arising from J-cost self-similarity near x = 1. Researchers modeling RS inflation would cite its spectral index and tensor-to-scalar bounds. The module supplies supporting definitions and inequalities that feed the J-cost inflaton derivation without containing proofs.
claim$\alpha = \phi^2$ where $\phi$ satisfies $\phi^2 = \phi + 1$, setting the curvature scale of the inflaton potential inherited from $J(x) = \frac12(x + x^{-1}) - 1$.
background
This module operates in the Gravity domain and imports the Constants module whose sole content is the RS time quantum $\tau_0 = 1$ tick. The supplied doc-comment states that $\alpha = \phi^2$ follows from the self-similarity condition on the cost functional, so that the inflaton potential inherits the quadratic character of $J(x)$ near $x = 1$. Sibling declarations supply concrete bounds on the spectral index $n_s$ and tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ at 55 e-folds together with positivity and range statements for the auxiliary quantity $X$.
proof idea
this is a definition module, no proofs
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the $\alpha$-attractor definitions required by the downstream JCostInflaton module, whose doc-comment states that it proves the Recognition Composition Law forces the inflaton potential to equal $J(x)$ and derives the slow-roll parameters $\varepsilon$ and $\eta$ from the curvature of $J$ in log coordinates. It therefore fills the curvature-scale step that links T5 J-uniqueness and T6 phi fixed-point to inflationary observables.
scope and limits
- Does not derive the Recognition Composition Law.
- Does not compute numerical predictions for CMB observables.
- Does not address reheating or post-inflationary evolution.
- Does not connect to the eight-tick octave or spatial dimension count.
