DirectedEdge

formal source

  63
  64/-- A directed edge on the Q₃ lattice: oriented pair (source, target)
  65    connected by an edge of the cube. -/
  66structure DirectedEdge where
  67  /-- Source vertex (3-bit binary) -/
  68  source : Fin 8
  69  /-- Target vertex (3-bit binary) -/
  70  target : Fin 8
  71  /-- They differ in exactly one coordinate (edge condition) -/
  72  adjacent : source ≠ target
  73
  74/-- The number of undirected edges in Q_D: D · 2^{D-1}. -/
  75theorem edges_QD (d : ℕ) : cube_edges d = d * 2 ^ (d - 1) := rfl
  76
  77/-- Q₃ has exactly 12 undirected edges. -/
  78theorem edges_Q3 : cube_edges D = 12 := edges_at_D3
  79
  80/-- The double-entry principle: each undirected edge becomes TWO directed
  81    edges (one per direction) in the recognition ledger.
  82
  83    This is forced by J-symmetry: J(x) = J(1/x) means every flow has
  84    a reciprocal, requiring both orientations to be tracked. -/

  86
  87/-- **KEY THEOREM: Q₃ has exactly 24 directed edges.**

  89    This is the source of the "magic number" 24 in:
  90    - Ramanujan's modular discriminant Δ(q) = η(τ)²⁴
  91    - The Leech lattice dimension
  92    - Bosonic string theory's "26 dimensions"
  93
  94    It is NOT about extra spatial dimensions. It counts ledger flux modes. -/
