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.
