Module defines the golden ratio φ as the unique positive root of x² = x + 1 and constructs the associated phi-ladder lattice points. It is imported by the Recognition Theta module to supply the phi-ladder weight. Content consists of elementary definitions and positivity lemmas derived from the quadratic equation.

claimLet $\phi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$ be the unique positive solution of $x^2 = x + 1$ (equivalently $x = 1 + 1/x$). The module introduces the lattice points generated on the phi-ladder from this fixed point.

background

The module sits in NumberTheory and imports the Cost module. It defines the golden ratio φ from its quadratic equation and records standard algebraic properties including positivity, φ > 1, and the inversion relation φ^{-1} = φ - 1. The phi-ladder lattice points are generated by successive multiplication by φ, providing the discrete rungs used for weight assignments.

The supplied doc-comment states that φ is the unique positive solution of x² = x + 1. These objects supply the self-similar fixed point required for the Recognition Composition Law and the T6 step of the forcing chain.

proof idea

this is a definition module, no proofs

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module feeds the Recognition Theta construction, which builds the candidate completion of the cost theta function that incorporates the 8-tick character (T7) and the phi-ladder weight (T6) to inherit a modular identity under t ↦ 1/t. It supplies the T6 phi fixed point required for the ladder structure in the Recognition framework.
