252
253/-- RS perspective on e:
254
255 1. **No simple φ formula**: e and φ seem algebraically independent
256 2. **Both fundamental**: φ for discrete, e for continuous
257 3. **Connected through i**: Euler's formula, cos(π/5) = φ/2
258 4. **J-cost requires e**: For consistent probability normalization
259 5. **Self-similar growth**: e is the unique base for this -/

269
270/-- The derivation would be falsified if:
271 1. A simple e = f(φ) formula is found
272 2. Some other base works for J-cost
273 3. e is not required for normalization -/
