   6# MATH-001: i² = -1 from 8-Tick Phase Rotation
   7
   8**Target**: Derive the fundamental property of the imaginary unit from RS.
   9
  10## The Question
  11
  12Why does i² = -1? Why do we need imaginary numbers in physics?
  13
  14In Recognition Science, this emerges from the **8-tick phase structure**:
  15- Rotation by 2 ticks (π/2) corresponds to multiplication by i
  16- Rotation by 4 ticks (π) corresponds to multiplication by -1
  17- Therefore: i × i = (rotate π/2) × (rotate π/2) = rotate π = -1
  18
  19## Deep Significance
  20
  21This explains why:
  221. Complex numbers appear in quantum mechanics
  232. The Schrödinger equation has i
  243. Waves involve e^{iθ}
  25
  26The imaginary unit is the generator of 8-tick phase rotations!

 106/-! ## Why Physics Needs Complex Numbers -/
 107
 108/-- Complex numbers are necessary in physics because:
 109
 110    1. **Waves**: Sinusoidal waves are Re(e^{iωt})
 111    2. **Quantum mechanics**: States are complex vectors
 112    3. **Rotations**: Complex numbers encode 2D rotations
 113    4. **Fourier analysis**: Frequency decomposition uses e^{ikx}
 114
 115    In RS, all of these trace back to the 8-tick phase structure! -/

 117  "Waves: sin(θ) = Im(e^{iθ})",
 118  "Quantum: States are complex, |ψ|² = probability",

 123/-! ## The Schrödinger Equation -/

 125/-- The Schrödinger equation: iℏ ∂ψ/∂t = Hψ
 126
 127    The i is essential! It ensures:
 128    1. Conservation of probability (unitarity)
 129    2. Wave-like solutions
 130    3. Interference
 131
 132    In RS: The i comes from the 8-tick generator.
 133    Time evolution = accumulating phase = multiplying by e^{-iEt/ℏ}. -/

 148/-- Euler's formula: e^{iθ} = cos(θ) + i·sin(θ)
 149
 150    This is the bridge between:
