The FermiDirac module supplies the Fermi-Dirac distribution for fermions within Recognition Science. It expresses the occupation number f(E) = 1/(exp((E-mu)/kT)+1) using the 8-tick phase structure imported from spin-statistics. Researchers in quantum thermodynamics cite it when applying RS-derived statistics to ideal gases. The module consists of direct definitions for the distribution and its limiting cases.

claimThe Fermi-Dirac distribution is $f(E)=1/ (e^{(E-μ)/kT}+1)$, where $E$ is single-particle energy, $μ$ chemical potential, $T$ temperature, and $k$ Boltzmann's constant, all in RS-native units with time quantum $τ_0=1$.

background

This module resides in the thermodynamics section and imports the RS time quantum $τ_0=1$ tick from Constants together with the spin-statistics theorem. The upstream spin-statistics result states that fermions obey Fermi-Dirac statistics because of the 8-tick phase structure. The module therefore supplies the occupation function that follows from that phase constraint.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs. It declares the central Fermi-Dirac function and auxiliary results such as boundedness, zero-temperature limits, and the classical limit as direct definitions.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module supplies the statistical weight for fermions that feeds into thermodynamic calculations built on the 8-tick octave (T7). It directly extends the spin-statistics theorem from QFT.SpinStatistics, allowing the Recognition Composition Law to be applied to thermal ensembles.
