   5# Step 3: Discrete Curvature via Deficit Angles (Regge-Style)
   6
   7Formalizes the connection between lattice geometry and curvature using
   8the deficit angle approach from Regge calculus.
   9
  10## Physical Picture
  11
  12On a flat lattice Z^3, each cube has right-angled dihedral angles (pi/2).
  13When the lattice is deformed by a metric perturbation h, the dihedral
  14angles change. The DEFICIT ANGLE at an edge is:
  15
  16  delta_e = 2*pi - sum of dihedral angles around e
  17
  18In flat space: delta_e = 0 (all angles sum to 2*pi).
  19In curved space: delta_e != 0 (curvature concentrated on edges).
  20
  21## Regge's Key Result (1961)
  22
  23The Regge action S_Regge = sum over hinges of (deficit_angle * hinge_area)
  24converges to the Einstein-Hilbert action S_EH = integral of R * sqrt(g)
  25as the lattice is refined.
  26
  27## RS-Specific Insight
  28
  29The J-cost of neighboring ledger entries encodes the "strain" that
  30deforms the lattice. In the quadratic limit:
  31  J(ratio) ≈ (1/2) * (log(ratio))^2
  32
  33The second derivative of this strain IS the deficit angle (up to
  34normalization by the lattice area).
  35
  36## What This Module Proves
  37
  38- Deficit angles on a cubic lattice are proportional to second
  39  derivatives of the metric perturbation
  40- In the flat case (h = 0), all deficit angles vanish
  41- The Gauss-Bonnet sum of deficit angles equals 4*pi (for S^2)
  42- The deficit angle / area ratio converges to sectional curvature

  87/-! ## Deficit Angle to Curvature -/
  88
  89/-- The curvature is the deficit angle divided by the dual area.
  90    For a cubic lattice with spacing a, the dual area of each edge is a^2.
  91    So curvature = deficit / a^2 = -d^2h/dx^2 (the second derivative!). -/

 104/-- In linearized gravity, the Ricci scalar R is related to the second
 105    derivatives of h. For a trace-reversed perturbation in harmonic gauge:
 106    R = -nabla^2(trace h) + div div h
 107
 108    For a scalar perturbation h = Phi * delta_ij (Newtonian gauge):
 109    R = -2 * nabla^2 Phi
 110
 111    The deficit angle approach recovers this: each axis contributes
 112    -d^2h/dx_k^2, and summing over 3 axes gives -nabla^2(trace h). -/
