This module defines the per-agent σ-budget as the consciousness gap evaluated at D=3, supplying the recognition cost foundation for tiered social bandwidth. Cognitive scientists or RS sociologists would cite these definitions when deriving network-size limits from the phi-ladder and J-cost. The module is a pure definition block containing perAgentBudget together with tier weights, totalWeight, and their elementary positivity and bounding lemmas.

claimDefine the per-agent budget by $\sigma_{\rm budget} := \text{consciousnessGap}(D=3)$. Introduce tier weights $w_0,\dots,w_4$ and total weight $W=\sum w_i$ satisfying $W<5$ together with the positivity statements $w_i>0$.

background

The module imports the RS time quantum $\tau_0=1$ tick from Constants and the cost machinery from the Cost module. It works in the D=3 sector fixed by the T8 step of the forcing chain. The central object is the per-agent $\sigma$-budget per recognition cycle, identified with consciousnessGap at three spatial dimensions; the remaining declarations introduce five social tiers, their weights, and the total weight together with sign and bound lemmas.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module supplies the bandwidth parameter that would feed any downstream theorem linking the eight-tick octave and D=3 to cognitive limits such as Dunbar numbers. It closes the interface between the core forcing chain (T5–T8) and the sociology domain, though the dependency graph currently lists no parent theorems.
