 122/-! ## Q18: Does EP Hold Exactly or Only in the Weak-Field Limit?
 123
 124The RS equivalence principle derives from J-cost uniqueness: both
 125inertial and gravitational mass are functionals of the SAME J.
 126
 127In the weak-field (small-deviation) limit: J(1+ε) ≈ ε²/2 (quadratic).
 128The quadratic approximation gives the Hamiltonian, and EP holds exactly
 129because the quadratic coefficient J''(1) = 1 is universal.
 130
 131BUT the full J-cost is NOT quadratic: J(1+ε) = ε²/(2(1+ε)).
 132The O(ε⁴) corrections are:
 133  J(1+ε) = ε²/2 - ε³/2 + 3ε⁴/8 - ...
 134
 135**Q: Do these corrections violate EP?**
 136
 137**A: No.** The EP in RS is EXACT, not approximate. Both inertial and
