147 The universe "relaxes" to homogeneity because it minimizes J-cost.
148 This is similar to thermodynamic equilibration, but more fundamental. -/

165/-! ## Combining Inflation and RS -/
166
167/-- Inflation and RS are complementary:
168
169 - Inflation: Explains HOW uniform regions got stretched
170 - RS: Explains WHY uniformity was favored in the first place
171
172 Together:
173 1. J-cost minimization selected homogeneous initial conditions
174 2. Inflation stretched one homogeneous patch to observable universe
175 3. 8-tick synchronization maintained coherence during expansion -/
