Catalogues Standard Model relativistic degrees of freedom from the cube-derived gauge group and three-generation structure: adjoint dimensions, gluon and weak-boson counts, Higgs modes, and the bosonic total. Cosmology code that builds temperature-dependent g_*(T) and baryogenesis staging imports these fixed SM content numbers. Content is mostly definitional equalities and short numerical identities, not a dynamical derivation.

claimFix SM relativistic content used by cosmology: adjoint dimension $\dim\mathrm{Adj}(\mathrm{SU}(n))=n^2-1$ (so $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ gives $8$ gluon modes), symmetric weak-boson counting, Higgs degrees of freedom, color and per-generation quark flavor factors, and the aggregated bosonic total $g_b$ that seeds $g_*(T)$.

background

Recognition Science derives the SM gauge factor $\mathrm{SU}(3)\times\mathrm{SU}(2)\times\mathrm{U}(1)$ from automorphisms of the 3-cube (P-014, GaugeFromCube) and exactly three fermion generations (P-001, ParticleGenerations). Once that group and generation count are fixed, early-universe thermodynamics still needs the usual multiplet arithmetic: how many relativistic bosonic (and related) degrees of freedom each sector contributes.

This module packages that arithmetic in RS-native Lean. The adjoint dimension $n^2-1$ is the Lie-algebra rank of $\mathrm{SU}(n)$; specializing gives the eight gluons and the $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ adjoint. Sibling definitions then name gluon DOF, symmetric weak-boson DOF, Higgs DOF, colors, and quark flavors per generation, and sum them into a bosonic total. Constants supplies shared RS units; the physics here is ordinary SM representation counting, not a new forcing step.

proof idea

Definition-and-equality module, not a deep proof development. Core objects are defs (adjoint dimension, sector DOF, bosonic aggregate) plus short eq lemmas that evaluate them to concrete naturals (e.g. gluons $=8$). Structure is: state $\dim\mathrm{Adj}(\mathrm{SU}(n))=n^2-1$, specialize to $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ and $\mathrm{SU}(2)$, add Higgs and generation/color factors, record the sum. No tactic-heavy argument; numerical identities discharge by simplification against Mathlib arithmetic.

why it matters in Recognition Science

Gives the fixed SM particle-content layer that cosmology refuses to hard-code ad hoc. Downstream, GStarThresholds builds a model $g_*(T)$ as an instantaneous-threshold step function "over adopted SM content" and explicitly answers the review gap that RS had fixed one number without temperature-dependent DOF. BaryogenesisStaging imports the same content while staging honest sphaleron and $B-L$ targets, so baryon-asymmetry work cannot silently invent multiplet counts.

In the broader RS chain this sits after gauge-from-cube (T8 / $D=3$ context) and three generations: group and generation number are forced upstream; this module only turns those into the $g_b$ bookkeeping early-universe formulas need. It does not itself force $\alpha$, masses, or the eight-tick octave.
