Speed of light
provedc = one voxel per tick in RS-native units. The SI numerical value enters only by external calibration.
gap: SI numerical value of c requires external calibration.
recognition
the machine-checked proof layer behind Pith
Recognition Science is a parameter-free formalization of reality. It begins with distinction ∃ x, y ∈ K : x ≠ y and continues, by forced theorems, to every empirically observed constant. The library is public Lean 4 source. Each module is auditable, every theorem citable.
What distinction forces is proved on its own, in a separate Lean 4 library: the natural numbers, integers and rationals arise by universal constructions and so are forced rather than assumed, while the real numbers are not, and the exact non-constructive principle each classical fact costs is named. Its axiom claims are compared against a manifest by equality on every push, and the gate that does the comparing must first catch six planted defects before it is allowed to judge.
the proof path
A forced sequence. Each step is a Lean theorem; nothing is fitted.

what can recognition prove?
High-signal claims. Each card links to the load-bearing theorem in Lean. Every claim carries an honest status label.
Why the golden ratio
provedSelf-similar closure forces r^2 = r + 1, so r = phi. No other fixed point survives.
Fine-structure constant
provedalpha-inverse sits inside (137.030, 137.039) by an explicit phi-based derivation; CODATA 137.036 lies inside the interval.
gap: Higher-order corrections beyond the gap-45 term are still being audited.
All constants from phi
provedℏ, G, c, and α are functions of phi alone in RS-native units. No free parameters.
Why space is 3D
provedThe 8-tick recognition cycle forces space dimension D = 3 via 2^(D-1) = 4 closure.
Gravity from the ledger
provedG = phi^5 in RS-native units. Equivalence principle and propagation speed equal to c are automatic.
Yang-Mills mass gap
provedOn the phi-lattice, the spectral gap equals J(phi) = (sqrt(5) - 2)/2.
Baryon asymmetry
provedThe matter-antimatter asymmetry sits at phi-rung 44, an explicit Recognition prediction.
Universal forcing
provedLogic forces one canonical arithmetic across all admissible Law-of-Logic settings. Mathematics and physics are downstream of one invariant law.
Reciprocal cost J(x)
provedThe unique reciprocal-symmetric cost is J(x) = (x + x^-1)/2 - 1. No alternative cost survives.
load-bearing theorems
The named results papers actually map onto. The forcing chain reads roughly top to bottom.

Find theorem-shaped evidence across every shape-of-logic module: exact names, Lean source, explainers, derivations, and graph neighbors.
A theory of everything is imagined as a single discovery that unifies reality. Discovering it first hand, I found that the unifying thing is reality itself.
In words it is logic. In mathematics, cost. In physics, action. In structure, meaning. In economics, morality. These are not analogies but one structure read in different languages. Intelligence is the striving that carries it forward.
We reached for one equation and expected everything to reduce to it. What arrived was more eloquent. The structure of reality is a single thing, and the theory of everything is the recognition of it.
