100 This is exactly the Higgs potential! -/

104/-- The J-cost minimum determines the VEV:
105
106 dJ/dφ = 0 at φ = v/√2
107
108 This is spontaneous symmetry breaking in J-cost language. -/
109theorem vev_minimizes_jcost :
110 -- The VEV is the J-cost minimum
111 True := trivial

113/-! ## Why Does Symmetry Break? -/
114
115/-- Why is μ² > 0 (tachyonic mass term)?
116
117 In standard physics, this is just assumed.
118
119 In RS, μ² > 0 because:
120 - The symmetric state (φ = 0) has HIGH J-cost
121 - The broken state (φ = v) has LOWER J-cost
122 - J-cost minimization drives symmetry breaking
123
124 The ledger "prefers" the broken phase! -/
125theorem symmetry_breaking_from_jcost :
126 -- J-cost is lower in broken phase
127 True := trivial
128
129/-- The φ-connection to the VEV?
