  48/-- A mass theory that derives both inertial and gravitational mass from
  49    a single cost function. The RS claim is that any physical mass theory
  50    must have this form (because J is the unique cost function). -/

  58/-- In a single-source mass theory, inertial and gravitational mass are
  59    identical for all positive-ratio states. This is the equivalence
  60    principle derived from cost uniqueness. -/
