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
