IndisputableMonolith.Information.ComputationLimitsStructure
ComputationLimitsStructure defines the fundamental tick as the RS minimum time quantum and builds the structure of computation limits from the ledger. Researchers deriving the physical Church-Turing thesis or locating physics in the complexity zoo cite these bounds. The module consists of definitions and supporting lemmas on tick atomicity and phi irrationality.
claimThe fundamental tick satisfies $τ_0 = 1$ with position function $tick_pos$ and maximum computation rate derived from the ledger; $φ$ satisfies its minimal polynomial $x^2 - x - 1 = 0$ with no rational roots.
background
The module resides in the Information domain. It imports Constants, whose doc states 'The fundamental RS time quantum (RS-native). τ₀ = 1 tick.', and Cost. Sibling definitions introduce fundamental_tick, tick_pos, max_computation_rate, computation_limits_from_ledger, tick_is_atomic_time_unit, and lemmas establishing phi irrationality via its minimal polynomial and the rational root theorem.
proof idea
this is a definition module, no proofs
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the tick-based limits that feed IndisputableMonolith.Information.ChurchTuringPhysicsStructure (IC-003: Physical Church-Turing Thesis) and IndisputableMonolith.Information.PhysicsComplexityStructure (IC-005: Computational Complexity of Physics). These downstream modules use the atomic time unit and rate bounds to extend the Church-Turing thesis to physics and place physical processes in the complexity zoo.
scope and limits
- Does not derive the physical Church-Turing thesis itself.
- Does not classify specific classes such as BQP or QMA.
- Does not treat continuous-time or non-discrete models.
- Does not address quantum computation beyond the tick bound.
