  83/-- **THEOREM (Slow Roll at Large φ)**: For large φ, ε → 0.
  84    This means inflation is natural at large field values. -/
  85theorem slow_roll_at_large_phi :
  86    -- As φ → ∞: V ~ φ/2, V' ~ 1/2, so ε ~ 1/(2φ²) → 0

  91/-- Number of e-foldings of inflation.
  92    N = ∫ (V/V') dφ ≈ ∫ φ dφ for large φ.
  93    We need N ≈ 60 to solve the horizon problem. -/

  98/-- **THEOREM (60 e-Foldings)**: Starting from φ ≈ 16, we get N ≈ 60.
