canonicalThreshold

The module treats annual internet traffic growth as a Recognition-scale phenomenon. Historically the observed multiplier is about 1.58×/yr (Cisco 2010–2022); Recognition Science identifies the natural growth factor with $\varphi\approx 1.618$, a 2.4% relative discrepancy.

$\varphi$ itself is forced earlier in the framework as the unique positive fixed point of the self-similarity map arising from the J-cost (T5–T6 of the forcing chain). The present definition simply shifts that constant by $3/2$ to obtain a dimensionless threshold used by sibling domain-cost and certificate constructions in the same file.

No external lemmas are required: the constant is assembled from the already-imported phi of IndisputableMonolith.Constants.

There is no proof. The declaration is a one-line real definition equating the name to the arithmetic expression $\varphi - 3/2$.

Inside the Information domain this constant supplies the numerical cutoff against which domain costs and the InternetTrafficCert certificate are judged. It therefore sits at the interface between the pure geometric constant $\varphi$ (forced by T6) and the empirical claim that internet traffic grows at a rate near $\varphi$. The module status is structural (zero sorry, zero axioms); the threshold itself is the simplest arithmetic bridge that lets later positivity and inhabitance lemmas (canonicalThreshold_pos, cert_inhabited) fire without re-deriving the shift each time.
