   5# QF-012: Double-Slit Interference from 8-Tick Phase
   6
   7**Target**: Derive the double-slit interference pattern from Recognition Science's
   88-tick phase structure.
   9
  10## Core Insight
  11
  12The double-slit experiment is the quintessential quantum phenomenon.
  13A particle going through two slits creates an interference pattern, as if it
  14went through both slits simultaneously.
  15
  16In RS, interference emerges from **8-tick phase accumulation**:
  17
  181. **Two paths**: Left slit (L) and right slit (R)
  192. **Phase accumulation**: Each path accumulates 8-tick phases
  203. **Phase difference**: Δφ = φ_L - φ_R depends on path length
  214. **Interference**: Probability ∝ |e^{iφ_L} + e^{iφ_R}|² = 2 + 2cos(Δφ)
  22
  23## The Pattern
  24
  25Constructive: Δφ = 2nπ → bright fringes
  26Destructive: Δφ = (2n+1)π → dark fringes
  27
  28The fringe spacing: Δy = λL/d (where d = slit separation, L = screen distance)

 169/-! ## The RS Interpretation -/
 170
 171/-- In RS, interference comes from **8-tick phase accumulation**:
 172
 173    1. The particle's state evolves through 8-tick cycles
 174    2. Each tick advances the phase by π/4
 175    3. The total phase = (path length / λ) × 2π
 176    4. The 8-tick structure ensures this is quantized correctly
 177
 178    The phases add as complex numbers, giving interference! -/

 183/-- **THEOREM (Superposition)**: The particle goes through "both slits".

 193/-- **THEOREM (Which-Path)**: Measuring which slit destroys interference.
 194    In RS: measurement actualizes the ledger, collapsing the superposition.
