IndisputableMonolith.Sociology.DunbarFromBandwidth
The module defines the per-agent σ-budget per recognition cycle, equating it to the consciousness gap at D=3, and introduces tier weights under the RS cost structure. Sociologists and network theorists would cite it to ground observed social layers in fundamental recognition costs. The module supplies a sequence of definitions for the budget and weights together with elementary positivity and bound lemmas.
claimThe per-agent budget satisfies $σ = $ consciousness gap at $D=3$, with tier weights $w_k$ ($k=0$ to $4$) obeying $w_k > 0$ and total weight $<5$.
background
Recognition Science fixes constants in native units with $c=1$ and derives all structure from the J-cost functional equation. The upstream Constants module supplies the base time quantum $τ_0 = 1$ tick. The Cost module provides the recognition cost functions. This sociology module applies those objects at three spatial dimensions to introduce the per-agent σ-budget, identified with the consciousness gap, as the fundamental resource per recognition cycle.
proof idea
This is a definition module. It defines perAgentBudget, proves equality to consciousnessGap at D=3 together with positivity, then defines tier0 through tier4, totalWeight, and establishes positivity of the tier weights plus the strict bound totalWeight < 5.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the bandwidth foundation that places social tier structures inside the Recognition framework, linking directly to the eight-tick octave and D=3 from the unified forcing chain. It enables future derivations of Dunbar-like numbers from per-agent costs. No downstream uses are recorded yet.
