   8# Euler–Lagrange Equations for the J-Action
   9
  10This module formalizes the Euler–Lagrange equation for two natural action
  11functionals on the cost manifold:
  12
  13* The **cost-rate action** `S[γ] = ∫ J(γ(t)) dt`, which integrates the
  14  pointwise cost. Since the integrand depends only on `γ`, not on `γ̇`,
  15  the EL equation reduces to `J'(γ(t)) = 0`, i.e., `γ(t) ≡ 1`. The
  16  variational principle in this formulation says: the unique global
  17  minimum of `S` (with no boundary conditions) is the constant ground
  18  state, and any path that stays at `γ = 1` minimizes `S`.
  19
  20* The **Hessian-energy action** `E[γ] = ∫ ½ J''(γ(t)) γ̇(t)² dt`, which
  21  integrates the kinetic energy in the Hessian metric `g(x) = J''(x) = 1/x³`.
  22  The EL equation of `E` is the **geodesic equation** of this metric:
  23  `γ̈ + Γ(γ) γ̇² = 0` with `Γ(x) = -3/(2x)`.
  24
  25The connection between the two is the standard relationship between the
  26cost (potential-like) and energy (kinetic-like) functionals on the same
  27manifold.

  31The cost-rate EL is fully proved here (it is a one-line consequence of
  32`Jcost_eq_zero_iff` and `J'(1) = 0`). The Hessian-energy EL is recorded
  33as a definition referencing the existing
  34`Decision.VariationalCalculus.geodesic_correct_satisfies_equation`, which
  35already provides the geodesic-equation verification for the explicit
  36family `γ(t) = (at + b)^(-2)`.

 115    Among admissible (positive, continuous) paths, the constant ground
 116    state `γ ≡ 1` is the *unique* solution of the cost-rate EL equation.
 117    This is the cleanest possible "principle of least action": there is
 118    exactly one trajectory in the cost manifold that has no first-order
 119    cost change at every point, and it is the path that stays at the
 120    cost minimum forever. -/

 158
 159/-- The geodesic equation is the Euler–Lagrange equation of the
 160    Hessian-energy action `E[γ] = ∫ ½ g(γ) γ̇² dt`.
 161
 162    This is a standard fact of Riemannian geometry: for a metric
 163    `g(x)` in 1D, the EL equation of the energy functional
 164    `E[γ] = ∫ ½ g(γ) γ̇² dt` is exactly the geodesic equation
 165    `γ̈ + Γ(γ) γ̇² = 0` with `Γ = (1/2g) g'`.
 166
 167    We record this as a definitional equivalence (the names of the two
 168    equations refer to the same mathematical object). The full proof of
 169    one direction (the geodesic family `γ(t) = (at+b)^(-2)` satisfies
 170    the equation) is in
 171    `IndisputableMonolith.Decision.VariationalCalculus.geodesic_correct_satisfies_equation`. -/

 180    velocity, zero acceleration). -/

 190/-- **Headline equivalence (1D, ground state).** Among admissible paths,
 191    the cost-rate EL has the constant-1 path as its unique solution
 192    (`costRateEL_iff_const_one`), and the constant-1 path is a geodesic
 193    of the Hessian metric (`const_one_is_geodesic`).
 194
 195    Therefore the cost-rate variational principle (find a path with
 196    zero pointwise cost gradient) and the Hessian-energy variational
 197    principle (find a geodesic) **agree on the unique ground state**:
 198    the constant path at the cost minimum. -/
