The Physics.BAO module defines the baryon loading ratio R(z) and related plasma quantities for baryon acoustic oscillations inside the Recognition Science framework. Cosmologists adapting standard BAO calculations to RS units with phi-based constants would cite these objects when deriving the sound horizon or spectral index. The module consists of a core definition of R(z) decreasing with redshift, followed by sound-speed functions and elementary positivity lemmas verified algebraically from the J-cost core.

claim$R(z) = 3ρ_b/(4ρ_γ) = R_0/(1+z)$, where $R_0 = 3Ω_b/(4Ω_γ)$ at redshift zero.

background

Recognition Science builds cosmological quantities from the J-cost function supplied by the imported JcostCore module. The baryon loading ratio quantifies baryon inertia relative to the photon fluid and thereby controls acoustic-wave propagation before recombination. This module introduces R(z) as inversely proportional to (1+z) together with the sound speed in the baryon-photon plasma and its radiation-era limits.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs. It introduces the baryon loading ratio from density ratios, defines sound speed as a function of R(z), and records basic properties such as positivity and monotonic decrease through direct algebraic verification.

why it matters in Recognition Science

These BAO definitions supply the plasma inputs needed for spectral-index and matter-density calculations in Recognition Science cosmology. They extend the J-cost framework to photon-baryon dynamics and support later derivations of the BAO scale, the alpha band, and the phi-ladder mass spectrum.
