10# Ledger Algebra — The Double-Entry Structure
11
12This module formalizes the **ledger algebra**: the algebraic structure forced
13by J-symmetry J(x) = J(1/x), which requires every event to have a
14reciprocal counterpart (double-entry bookkeeping).
15
16## The Forcing
17
18J(x) = J(1/x) means: the cost of ratio x equals the cost of ratio 1/x.
19This forces paired events: every debit has a matching credit.
20The global balance invariant σ = 0 is the algebraic expression of conservation.
21
22## Algebraic Structure
23
24The ledger algebra consists of:
251. **Events**: Elements of a graded abelian group
262. **Pairings**: Every event e pairs with its conjugate ē
273. **Balance constraint**: σ = Σ events = 0 (conservation)
284. **Double-entry**: Events come in (debit, credit) pairs summing to zero
29
30This is the algebraic foundation for:
31- Conservation laws in physics
32- The σ=0 constraint in ethics
33- 8-tick window neutrality in LNAL
34- Closed-chain flux = 0 (T3)
35
36## Key Results (Proved)
37
38- `paired_event_sum_zero` : e + ē = 0
39- `ledger_is_abelian_group` : Events form an abelian group
40- `balance_preserved_under_paired_ops` : σ=0 is preserved
41- `double_entry_forces_conservation` : Paired events ⟹ conservation
