plain-language theorem explainer

This definition supplies a compact textual summary of the QED Landau pole under Recognition Science. A physicist studying UV cutoffs in unification scenarios would cite it when contrasting the divergent coupling with Planck-scale discreteness. The definition consists of a single string literal that embeds the physical statement without computation or lemmas.

Claim. In QED the electromagnetic coupling diverges at an energy scale of approximately $10^{286}$ GeV; Recognition Science supplies a natural cutoff via Planck-scale discreteness.

background

The module derives running couplings from φ-ladder scaling. Energy scales correspond to distinct rungs on the φ-ladder, with J-cost optimization varying across those rungs. Upstream, Energy is the real-number type in RS-native units, scale(k) returns φ^k for rung index k, and m_p is the proton mass expressed as valence contribution plus binding energy.

proof idea

The definition is a direct string literal assignment; no lemmas or tactics are applied.

why it matters

The definition completes the module summary on RS running couplings by addressing the Landau pole. It sits alongside the listed items on φ-ladder scales, QCD asymptotic freedom, and dimensional transmutation. It touches the framework question of how discreteness at the Planck scale resolves QFT ultraviolet divergences.
