IndisputableMonolith.Physics.ElectronMass.BaselineDerivation
This module establishes the lepton baseline rung as one above the active edge count for charged states. It places the minimal stable lepton at rung 2 since any charged state traverses at least one active edge. Researchers deriving electron mass from the Recognition Science phi-ladder cite this as the entry rung. The module assembles imported definitions from Constants, AlphaDerivation, and ElectronMass.Defs with no internal proofs.
claimThe lepton baseline rung satisfies $r = A + 1$ where the active edge count $A = 1$ for any charged state, yielding the minimal stable rung $r = 2$.
background
This module sits inside the T9 electron mass derivation chain and imports the RS time quantum $ au_0 = 1$ tick from Constants together with the $\alpha^{-1}$ derivation from cubic ledger vertex deficits in AlphaDerivation. ElectronMass.Defs supplies the core lepton definitions that separate constants from theorems to break import cycles; its doc states that lepton sector constants derive from cube geometry rather than being arbitrary. The supplied module doc-comment fixes the baseline: one above the active edge count, with the minimal stable state at $A + 1 = 2$.
proof idea
this is a definition module, no proofs
why it matters in Recognition Science
This module supplies the baseline rung that feeds sibling results lepton_baseline_eq, baseline_matches_electron_rung, and electron_rung_derived. It fills the initial step of the lepton sector constants chain from cube geometry and connects to the forcing chain landmarks T7 eight-tick octave and T8 D=3 that underwrite the phi-ladder mass formula.
scope and limits
- Does not derive numerical electron mass values.
- Does not treat muon or tau rungs.
- Does not incorporate gap(Z) or higher corrections.
- Does not address stability criteria beyond the baseline.
