leptonFlavors
plain-language theorem explainer
The definition assigns the natural number 6 to leptonFlavors, encoding the six observed leptons as the faces of a cube in the Recognition Science lattice. Particle physicists working inside the RS framework cite this constant when building certificates for detector depth. It is introduced by direct assignment with no computation or lemmas.
Claim. The number of lepton flavors equals 6, matching the six faces of a cube in the recognition lattice.
background
The module treats particle detectors as recognition lattices for quantum field events. Five canonical detection methods (tracking, calorimetry, time-of-flight, Čerenkov, transition radiation) equal configDim D = 5. Both quark and lepton counts are set to 6 to match cube faces, with the Lean file carrying zero sorry or axiom.
proof idea
Direct definition that assigns the constant 6. No lemmas or tactics are invoked; the declaration is a one-line constant introduction.
why it matters
Supplies the lepton count required by the ParticlePhysicsDepthCert structure and the downstream theorem leptonFlavors_eq_cubeFaces. It completes the B7/B8 step that equates lepton flavors to cube faces, consistent with the eight-tick octave and the recognition lattice geometry. The assignment anchors the claim that particle physics depth follows from lattice face counting.
