IndisputableMonolith.NumberTheory.PrimeLedgerStructure
The module establishes the d'Alembert functional equation for the Recognition Science cost function J and supplies basic prime factorization lemmas. Researchers building the prime cost spectrum cite it to extend J multiplicatively over natural numbers. The argument consists of algebraic verifications that J obeys the composition law together with direct checks of prime irreducibility.
claimThe d'Alembert functional equation $J(xy) + J(x/y) = 2J(x)J(y) + 2J(x) + 2J(y)$ holds for the RS cost $J$, with auxiliary results that every prime is irreducible and every integer greater than 1 has a prime factor.
background
The module sits in the NumberTheory domain and imports the RS time quantum τ₀ = 1 tick from Constants together with the cost function J from Cost. J is defined by J(x) = (x + x^{-1})/2 - 1, equivalently cosh(log x) - 1. The central object is the d'Alembert equation, which is the Recognition Composition Law specialized to this J.
proof idea
The module contains a collection of lemmas. Direct substitution of the hyperbolic definition of J into the target equation yields the identity after algebraic rearrangement; separate lemmas then verify that primes remain irreducible under the induced cost ordering and that every integer factors into primes.
why it matters in Recognition Science
This module supplies the arithmetic scaffolding required by PrimeCostSpectrum, which defines the integer cost c(n) = Σ v_p(n) J(p). It thereby connects the real-valued J to the discrete prime ledger used for mass formulas and the phi-ladder in the Recognition Science framework.
scope and limits
- Does not derive the explicit form of J from the forcing chain.
- Does not compute numerical values of c(n) for specific integers.
- Does not prove the fundamental theorem of arithmetic in full.
- Does not address composite cost spectra beyond prime factorization.
