 147/-- **Theorem (F-004 core)**: Time is not a background parameter.
 148    Time is DEFINED as the tick count. Without ledger updates, there is no time.
 149    The tick count is a natural number, not a real number.
 150    Continuous time is an approximation valid only for large tick counts. -/

 154/-- **Theorem**: The minimal temporal resolution is one tick.

 165/-- **F-004/F-006 Certificate**: Time emergence and arrow of time.
 166    1. Time = tick count (discrete, no background)
 167    2. Arrow = defect decrease direction
 168    3. Recognition is irreversible
 169    4. 8-tick epoch is the minimal complete cycle -/
