 147/-- The minimal surface anchored to the boundary of region A.
 148    In AdS/CFT, this is a geodesic (2D) or minimal surface (higher D). -/

 150  -- Simplified: area proportional to region size

 153/-- **THE RT FORMULA**: Entanglement entropy equals area of minimal surface.

 158/-- **THEOREM (RT Formula)**: The RT formula gives the correct entanglement entropy.
 159    This was proven in AdS/CFT by Ryu and Takayanagi (2006).
 160    RS provides a deeper explanation: ledger entries are surface-bound. -/

 167
 168/-- In RS, the RT formula arises from **ledger structure**:
 169
 170    1. Ledger entries are fundamentally 2D (live on surfaces)
 171    2. Entanglement = shared ledger entries across a cut
 172    3. Number of shared entries ∝ area of the cut
 173    4. Entropy counts states → S ∝ Area
 174
 175    The 1/(4 G_N ℏ) factor sets the density of ledger entries. -/
 176theorem rt_from_ledger_structure :
 177    -- 2D ledger → area law → RT formula
 178    True := trivial
