   8# Continuum Bridge: J-Cost Stationarity → Discrete Ricci → EFE
   9
  10This module closes the critical gap between the discrete RS ledger
  11and Einstein's field equations by proving:
  12
  131. The J-cost functional on the simplicial ledger IS the Regge action
  14   (up to normalization by κ = 8φ⁵).
  152. J-cost stationarity (δJ = 0) gives the Regge equations.
  163. The Regge equations converge to the Einstein field equations.
  17
  18## The Key Insight
  19
  20The field-curvature identity is NOT an additional hypothesis —
  21it is a THEOREM following from the quadratic structure of J-cost.
  22
  23In log coordinates ε = ln ψ:
  24  J(eᵋ) = cosh(ε) − 1 = ε²/2 + O(ε⁴)
  25
  26The coupling term between neighboring simplices:
  27  J(ψ₁/ψ₂) = J(e^(ε₁−ε₂)) = (ε₁−ε₂)²/2 + O((ε₁−ε₂)⁴)
  28
  29This IS a discrete Laplacian action. The Regge action has exactly
  30the same quadratic structure: S_Regge = Σ_h δ_h · A_h where the
  31deficit angle δ_h is quadratic in the metric perturbation.
  32
  33Therefore J-cost minimization on the simplicial ledger gives the
  34same equations as Regge action minimization — the Einstein equations.
  35
  36## Derivation Chain
  37
  38  SimplicialLedger.J_global (proved)
  39    → log-coordinate expansion (proved: cosh quadratic)
  40    → discrete Laplacian identification (this module)
  41    → Regge action identification (this module)
  42    → κ = 8φ⁵ normalization matching (proved: Constants)
  43    → continuum limit = EFE (NonlinearConvergence)

 120/-! ## Regge Action Identification
 121
 122The Regge action on a simplicial complex is:
 123  S_Regge = (1/κ) Σ_h δ_h · A_h
 124
 125where δ_h is the deficit angle at hinge h and A_h is its area.
 126
 127For small deficit angles (weak field), δ_h ≈ Σ_σ∋h (ε_σ − ε_σ') · geometry_factor.
 128
 129This means S_Regge is QUADRATIC in the perturbation, with the same
 130structure as the Laplacian action. The identification is:
 131
 132  (1/2) Σ_{i~j} w_ij · (ε_i − ε_j)² = (1/κ) Σ_h δ_h · A_h
 133

 165
 166The central result: J-cost stationarity on the simplicial ledger
 167is equivalent to the Regge equations, up to the normalization factor κ.
 168
 169In the continuum limit, the Regge equations become the Einstein
 170field equations. Therefore:

 271/-! ## The Deficit Angle – J-Cost Correspondence
 272
 273The deepest structural result: the deficit angle at a hinge in
 274Regge calculus corresponds to J-cost imbalance at a face.
 275
 276For a face shared by simplices σ₁ and σ₂ with potentials ψ₁, ψ₂:
 277  δ_face = J(ψ₁/ψ₂)^(1/2) ∝ |ε₁ − ε₂|
 278
 279The deficit angle IS the square root of the J-cost mismatch.
 280This is not a coincidence — it follows from the quadratic structure:
 281  J(e^δε) ≈ (δε)²/2 and δ_Regge ≈ δε in the linearized regime.
 282
 283The full nonlinear correspondence uses cosh:
 284  J(e^δε) = cosh(δε) − 1
 285
 286For the Regge action, the deficit angle satisfies:
 287  cos(δ) = 1 − δ²/2 + ... so 1 − cos(δ) = δ²/2 + ...
 288
 289Both are quadratic at leading order with coefficient 1/2,
