religiousExperienceCount
plain-language theorem explainer
The theorem asserts that the inductive enumeration of canonical religious experiences contains exactly five elements. Philosophers of religion or cognitive modelers working in Recognition Science would cite the result when mapping William James's taxonomy onto the configuration dimension. The proof is a one-line decide tactic that exhausts the finite constructors of the type.
Claim. The set of canonical religious experience types has cardinality five: $ |S| = 5 $ where $ S = $ {mystical, numinous, conversion, prayer, death-awareness}.
background
The module formalizes William James's four marks of religious experience as consequences of J-cost minimization. Noetic quality corresponds to equilibrium at J-cost zero, transiency to the instability of that equilibrium, and passivity to the fact that the minimum is not chosen. Upstream definitions fix the configuration dimension at five, obtained as spatial degrees of freedom plus temporal and ledger-balance components.
proof idea
The proof is a one-line wrapper that applies the decide tactic. The inductive type derives Fintype and DecidableEq, so decide automatically enumerates the five constructors and confirms the cardinality equals five.
why it matters
The result supplies the five_types component of the religiousExperienceCert definition, completing the formal link between J-cost equilibrium and James's taxonomy. It instantiates the general configDim = 5 from cosmology and foundation modules into the philosophy domain, closing the derivation that begins from the Recognition Composition Law and the eight-tick octave. No scaffolding remains.
