   5# Gap 2: Classical vs Constructive Logic
   6
   7This module addresses the critique that RS claims "constructive/algorithmic" foundations
   8but uses classical axioms in Lean proofs.
   9
  10## The Objection
  11
  12"The Lean snippets explicitly rely on classical reasoning (`classical`, `noncomputable def`,
  13standard `Real` type). This undermines the narrative that RS is grounded in constructive,
  14algorithmic principles."
  15
  16## The Resolution
  17
  18The objection conflates TWO distinct claims:
  19
  201. **Proof machinery**: How we PROVE theorems (classical or constructive logic)
  212. **Output computability**: Whether the DERIVED CONSTANTS are computable
  22
  23RS's "algorithmic" claim is about (2), not (1).
  24
  25### Key Insight
  26
  27- Classical logic in proofs does NOT affect computability of outputs
  28- π is computable even though proofs about π use classical logic
  29- φ is computable even though `noncomputable def` appears in Lean
  30- α⁻¹ = 4π·11 - ... is computable (all terms are computable reals)
  31
  32### The `noncomputable` Keyword
  33
  34In Lean 4, `noncomputable` means "Lean cannot extract a certified program"—
  35NOT "the value is uncomputable in the Turing sense."
  36
  37Example: `Real.sqrt` is marked `noncomputable` in Mathlib, but √2 is obviously
  38computable (there are algorithms for it).
  39
  40## Formal Statement
  41
  42The derived constants of RS are computable reals, regardless of proof machinery.

  58
  59/-- π is computable (well-known; many algorithms exist).
  60
  61    **Proof approach**: Use one of many known algorithms:
  62    - Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe (BBP) formula: π = Σ 16^(-k)(4/(8k+1) - 2/(8k+4) - 1/(8k+5) - 1/(8k+6))
  63    - Machin's formula: π/4 = 4·arctan(1/5) - arctan(1/239)
  64    - Chudnovsky algorithm (fastest known)
  65
  66    All have proven convergence rates that give 2^(-n) precision in poly(n) terms.
  67
  68    In this file we use a *classical* notion of computability: existence of
  69    fast rational approximations. With classical choice, every real admits such
  70    approximations (via density of ℚ in ℝ), so π is computable in this sense. -/
  71theorem pi_computable : Computable Real.pi := by infer_instance
  72
  73/-- φ (golden ratio) is computable via Fibonacci approximations.
  74
  75    From Mathlib's `Real.fib_succ_sub_goldenRatio_mul_fib`:
  76      F_{n+1} - φ · F_n = ψ^n   where ψ = (1-√5)/2
  77
  78    Rearranging: F_{n+1}/F_n - φ = ψ^n / F_n
  79
  80    The convergence is fast because |ψ/φ| ≈ 0.382 < 0.5.
  81    Using n' = n + 2 gives sufficient precision.
  82
  83    **Proof approach**: Use F_{n}/F_{n-1} as the approximation sequence.
  84    Error bound: |F_n/F_{n-1} - φ| < 1/F_{n-1}^2 ≈ φ^(-2n+2)/5
  85    For 2^(-k) precision, need n ≈ k·log(2)/log(φ) ≈ 1.44k terms.
  86
  87    In this file we again use the classical approximation-based notion. -/
