   6# THERMO-001: Boltzmann Distribution from J-Cost
   7
   8**Target**: Derive the Boltzmann distribution from Recognition Science's J-cost functional.
   9
  10## Core Insight
  11
  12The Boltzmann distribution P(E) ∝ exp(-E/kT) emerges from cost-weighted state selection.
  13
  14In RS, each state has a **recognition cost** J(x). States with lower cost are more probable.
  15When many subsystems interact, the cost-optimal allocation gives the Boltzmann form.
  16
  17## The Derivation
  18
  19Consider a system with N particles distributed among energy levels {E_i}.
  20
  211. **Total cost constraint**: The total J-cost is fixed (ledger balance).
  222. **Maximization**: The most probable distribution maximizes the number of microstates
  23   subject to the cost constraint.
  243. **Lagrange multiplier**: The constraint introduces β = 1/kT as a Lagrange multiplier.
  25
  26This is the same logic as standard statistical mechanics, but with J-cost as the primitive.
  27
  28## Key Result
  29
  30P_i = exp(-β E_i) / Z
  31
  32where:
  33- β = 1/kT (inverse temperature)
  34- Z = Σ exp(-β E_i) (partition function)
  35- The temperature T emerges as the derivative of J-cost with respect to "entropy"
