IndisputableMonolith.RRF.Hypotheses
The RRF.Hypotheses module aggregates three explicit hypotheses for the Recognition framework: 8-tick discretization of time into cycles, φ-ladder organization of physical scales, and tau-gate identity linking the tau lepton to biological gating at a shared rung. Researchers testing empirical predictions from the φ-ladder would cite it when designing scale or lepton experiments. It functions as a hypothesis interface collection rather than an axiom set or proof module.
claimThe module declares three hypotheses: time discretized into 8-beat cycles $H_{8\text{-tick}}$, physical scales organized by powers of $\phi$ as $H_{\phi\text{-ladder}}$, and the tau lepton sharing a $\phi$-rung with biological gating as $H_{\tau\text{-gate}}$.
background
Recognition Science derives physics from a single functional equation whose landmarks include the eight-tick octave (period $2^3$) and $\phi$ as the self-similar fixed point. The RRF.Hypotheses module collects explicit hypotheses about observed traces, not definitional axioms, and supplies testing interfaces for LNAL bytecode cycles and scale predictions.
The 8-tick hypothesis states that time and process are discretized into 8-beat cycles. The $\phi$-ladder hypothesis states that physical scales are organized by powers of $\phi$, generating prediction obligations that must be tested empirically. The tau-gate hypothesis states that the tau lepton and biological gating share a $\phi$-rung and represents the most striking numerical claim in the $\phi$-ladder theory.
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs. It imports the three submodules EightTick, PhiLadder, and TauGate to organize the RRF hypotheses as a single testing interface.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module feeds empirical testing obligations in the Recognition framework and links directly to forcing-chain steps T6 ($\phi$ fixed point) and T7 (eight-tick octave). It positions the tau-gate claim as the key numerical prediction arising from the $\phi$-ladder hypothesis. No downstream theorems are recorded, indicating its role as foundational hypothesis collection for later validation.
