IndisputableMonolith.Jurisprudence.SentencingProportionalityFromJCost
The module derives sentencing proportionality from the J-cost function in Recognition Science, establishing the canonical punishment/harm ratio as the golden ratio φ. Jurisprudence researchers applying RS to legal models would cite its definitions for ratio-based severity. It consists of imported constants and cost structures used to build proportionalityRatio and related objects without internal proofs.
claimThe canonical punishment/harm ratio equals $\phi$.
background
Recognition Science applies the J-cost function (satisfying the Recognition Composition Law) beyond physics into jurisprudence. The module imports the RS time quantum $\tau_0 = 1$ tick from Constants and the cost framework from Cost. It introduces proportionalityRatio, adjacentSeverityRatio, sentencingCost, and SentencingCert as objects that enforce J-cost proportionality in sentencing.
proof idea
this is a definition module, no proofs
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the proportionality foundation for sentencing models in the Recognition framework. It realizes the canonical ratio $\phi$ from the self-similar fixed point (T6) and feeds definitions such as SentencingCert into downstream jurisprudence applications.
scope and limits
- Does not derive explicit numerical sentence lengths or durations.
- Does not incorporate jurisdiction-specific statutes or precedents.
- Does not distinguish retributive from restorative justice frameworks.
