(1) Plain English

The declaration ode_linear_regularity_bootstrap_hypothesis_neg defines a proposition (a Prop) that, for any function H : ℝ → ℝ, asserts the following implication: if H satisfies the linear ODE H''(t) = -H(t) pointwise, and if H is continuous and differentiable, then H must in fact be twice continuously differentiable (ContDiff ℝ 2 H).

(2) Role in Recognition Science

This is the regularity bootstrap hypothesis for the cosine branch of the d'Alembert functional equation (Aθ1–Aθ4). It upgrades minimal differentiability assumptions to the C² smoothness needed to derive H'' = -H from the functional equation and then invoke ODE uniqueness. It parallels the cosh-branch infrastructure in Cost.FunctionalEquation and is required for the master theorem THEOREM_angle_coupling_rigidity that forces the angle coupling function to be exactly cos.

(3) Reading the Formal Statement

def ode_linear_regularity_bootstrap_hypothesis_neg (H : ℝ → ℝ) : Prop :=
  (∀ t, deriv (deriv H) t = -H t) → Continuous H → Differentiable ℝ H → ContDiff ℝ 2 H

It is a hypothesis (not a theorem) that packages a standard fact about linear ODEs with constant coefficients: solutions are automatically smooth. The antecedent is the ODE, the consequent is C² regularity.

(4) Visible Dependencies and Certificates

  • Used directly by ode_cos_uniqueness (which chains h_cont_hyp, h_diff_hyp, h_bootstrap_hyp to reach ode_cos_uniqueness_contdiff).
  • Used by dAlembert_cos_solution (via the AngleStandardRegularity bundle).
  • Certificate: cos_satisfies_bootstrap_neg proves Real.cos satisfies the hypothesis.
  • Related regularity hypotheses in the same module: ode_regularity_continuous_hypothesis_neg, ode_regularity_differentiable_hypothesis_neg, dAlembert_continuous_implies_smooth_hypothesis_neg, dAlembert_to_ODE_hypothesis_neg.
  • Depends on Mathlib's ContDiff, Continuous, Differentiable, deriv (imported at top of module).

(5) What It Does Not Prove

It does not assert that any concrete H satisfies the ODE or the regularity premises; those must be supplied separately (e.g., via cos_dAlembert or cos_second_deriv_eq). It does not prove uniqueness of solutions or the full d'Alembert-to-cos implication; those are handled by ode_cos_uniqueness_contdiff, dAlembert_cos_solution, and THEOREM_angle_coupling_rigidity. It is silent on the cosh branch and on any physical interpretation of the angle coupling.
