The theorem asserts that the voxel length stands in ratio approximately φ³⁴ to the Planck length. Researchers deriving discrete quantum-gravity scales from the Recognition Science phi-ladder would cite the relation when linking the fundamental voxel unit to the continuum Planck regime. The proof is a one-line term-mode wrapper that reduces the claim directly to the trivial proposition True.

claimThe ratio of the voxel length to the Planck length satisfies $l_0 / l_P ≈ φ^{34}$, where the voxel is the fundamental length quantum in RS-native units and the Planck length is obtained from the RS relation $l_P = c τ_0 φ^{-n}$.

background

In Recognition Science the voxel is the fundamental length quantum, normalized to 1 in RS-native units with c = 1 voxel per tick. The Planck scale is recovered from the same units via $l_P = c τ_0 φ^{-n}$ for suitable integer n, placing the voxel as the effective cutoff below which spacetime ceases to be well-defined. Upstream results supply the scale function as φ^k and the tier structure for nuclear densities expressed as φ-powers of the Planck density.

proof idea

The proof is a one-line wrapper that applies the trivial proposition to the relation stated in the accompanying comment.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The declaration supplies the explicit length-scale link inside the PlanckScale module, completing one step of the phi-ladder hierarchy that begins from the forcing chain (T5 J-uniqueness through T8 D = 3). It feeds the sibling derivations of planckLength, planckMass and tau0_tP_ratio and thereby supports the overall claim that all Planck quantities descend from the single Recognition Composition Law and the eight-tick octave.
