   6# QFT-012: Lamb Shift from Vacuum J-Cost Fluctuations
   7
   8**Target**: Derive the Lamb shift from vacuum fluctuations via J-cost.
   9
  10## The Lamb Shift
  11
  12The Lamb shift is a small energy difference between the 2S₁/₂ and 2P₁/₂
  13levels of hydrogen, discovered by Lamb and Retherford in 1947.
  14
  15Without QED: These levels should be degenerate (same energy).
  16With QED: 2S₁/₂ is ~1057 MHz higher than 2P₁/₂.
  17
  18This was one of the first precision tests of QED!
  19
  20## RS Mechanism
  21
  22In Recognition Science:
  23- Vacuum fluctuations = ledger J-cost fluctuations
  24- Electron "jiggle" = J-cost-driven position uncertainty
  25- Level shift = modification of orbital J-cost
