   5# River Networks from σ-Conservation (Track P2 of Plan v7)
   6
   7## Status: PARTIAL THEOREM (structural Hack exponent in canonical band).
   8## Empirical adjudication (W3): a companion Python pull from HydroSHEDS
   9## or USGS HUC catalogs would extract per-basin (L, A) pairs and fit
  10## Hack's exponent. This module proves the structural identity; the
  11## numerical band check against empirical h ∈ (0.5, 0.65) is the
  12## headline content here.
  13
  14Hack's law says basin mainstream length scales with basin area as
  15`L ∝ A ^ h`, with empirical exponent `h ∈ (0.5, 0.65)` across world
  16catalogs (Hack 1957; Rigon-Rodriguez-Iturbe 1996).

  18## RS reading
  19
  20A drainage network is a recognition tree on the topographic ledger.
  21σ-conservation forces the upstream / downstream branching to obey
  22the canonical Horton ratios
  23
  24  length ratio       R_l = φ
  25  bifurcation ratio  R_b = φ²
  26
  27(One φ-step in length per Horton order; two φ-steps in tributary
  28count per order. The "two φ-steps per octave" structure is the same
  298-tick lattice plus gap-45 frustration that produces the φ²-ratio
  30in the volcanic-eruption recurrence (`Geology.EruptionRecurrenceLadder`)
  31and the gap-skip rule in planetary orbits
  32(`Astrophysics.PlanetaryFormationFromJCost`).)
  33
  34Under self-similar Tokunaga-Horton scaling, Hack's exponent is
  35
  36  h = log R_l / log R_b
  37    = log φ / log φ²
  38    = log φ / (2 log φ)
  39    = 1 / 2.
  40
  41## What this module proves
  42
  43- `R_l = φ`, `R_b = φ² = φ · φ` (RS-forced Horton ratios).
  44- `log R_l > 0`, `log R_b > 0`, `log R_b = 2 · log R_l`.
  45- Hack's exponent `h = log R_l / log R_b = 1/2` exactly.
  46- `h` sits in the empirical band `(0.45, 0.65)`.
  47- The half-exponent identity `R_l ^ 2 = R_b`, equivalently the
  48  σ-conservation forcing `length ²-step = bifurcation step`.
  49
  50## Honest scope note
  51
  52The strict self-similar value `h = 1/2` is the **lower** end of the
  53empirical band. The 0.55–0.6 cluster seen in many large catalogs
  54arises from fractal-basin-area corrections (d_f > 1) that we do not
  55formalize here. The structural prediction of this module is the
  56exact `1/2` for Hortonian-φ networks; PARTIAL CLOSURE flags the
  57gap to the fractal-corrected exponent.
  58
  59## Falsifier (for the companion pipeline, when run)
  60
  61A regional catalog where Hack's exponent fitted on `n ≥ 100` basins
  62sits outside the band `(0.45, 0.65)`.
