IndisputableMonolith.QFT.CPTInvariance
The CPTInvariance module defines charge conjugation, parity, and time reversal operators on ledger entries using the eight-tick discretization and RS time quantum. It proves each operator preserves J-cost and that their composition leaves the ledger invariant. QFT derivations in Recognition Science cite this module when verifying discrete symmetries from the forcing chain. The structure consists of operator definitions followed by preservation lemmas and a combined CPT application.
claimParity operator $P$ implements spatial reflection on states. Time reversal $T$ inverts tick direction within the 8-beat cycle. Charge conjugation $C$ flips defect sign. The composition satisfies $J(CPT(x)) = J(x)$ for ledger entry $x$, with each operator preserving cost.
background
This module belongs to the QFT tier of Recognition Science derivations. It imports the fundamental RS time quantum τ₀ = 1 tick from Constants and the 8-tick discretization hypothesis from EightTick, which states that time and process are discretized into 8-beat cycles as an explicit hypothesis about observed traces rather than a definitional axiom.
proof idea
This is a definition module. It introduces ParityOp as spatial reflection, TimeReversalOp, LedgerEntry, and the application functions applyC, applyP, applyT. Separate lemmas establish cost preservation for each operator before applyCPT combines them into the invariance statement.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the discrete symmetry operators required by the parent QFT module for deriving quantum field theory fundamentals from Recognition Science. It completes the Tier 2 derivation slot for CPT invariance, linking the eight-tick hypothesis directly to ledger invariance under the composition of C, P, and T.
scope and limits
- Does not derive CPT from the forcing chain without the eight-tick hypothesis.
- Does not treat continuous gauge or Lorentz symmetries.
- Does not produce numerical mass or coupling predictions.
