   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.

  81
  82/-- In flat Minkowski spacetime, parallel transport is trivial:
  83    the Christoffel symbols vanish, so DV/dλ = dV/dλ = 0,
  84    meaning V is constant along any curve. -/

  93
  94/-- Parallel transport preserves the metric inner product.
  95    If V, W are parallel-transported along γ, then g(V,W) is constant.
  96
  97    g_{μν} V^μ W^ν = const along γ
  98
  99    This is a consequence of metric compatibility ∇g = 0. -/

 113/-- For Minkowski, inner product preservation holds: g(V,W) is constant
 114    along any curve when V, W are parallel-transported (both constant in flat space).
 115
 116    The proof uses the fact that η is position-independent and both V, W

 214    For a parallelogram loop with sides δx^μ and δy^ν, the holonomy defect

 218    This is the defining property of the Riemann tensor from the geometric
