8# Parallel Transport and Holonomy
9
10This module formalizes parallel transport along curves in 4D spacetime
11using the Levi-Civita connection (`Curvature.christoffel`).
12
13## Main Results
14
15* `ParallelTransported` — predicate for parallel transport along a curve
16* `parallel_transport_preserves_norm` — parallel transport preserves inner products
17* `parallel_transport_flat` — in flat space, parallel transport = constant vectors
18* `HolonomyDefect` — curvature as the infinitesimal holonomy around closed loops
19* `holonomy_vanishes_iff_flat` — zero holonomy iff Riemann = 0
20
21## Physical Interpretation
22
23Parallel transport moves a vector along a curve while keeping it "as parallel
24as possible" with respect to the connection. On a curved manifold, transporting
25a vector around a closed loop returns a rotated vector; the rotation is
26proportional to the Riemann curvature tensor integrated over the enclosed area.
27
28In Recognition Science, curvature is forced by non-uniform J-cost defect density.
29Parallel transport failure around closed loops is the geometric manifestation of
30the ledger imbalance that creates gravity.
