This module defines observability limits in Recognition Science astrophysics through quantities such as the recognition length and coherence volume derived from the phi-ladder. Astrophysicists modeling detectable stellar masses or photon fluxes from first principles would cite these bounds to constrain observable scales. The module assembles definitions from imported cost functions, golden-ratio lemmas, and time-quantum constants with no internal proofs.

claimObservability limits are given by the recognition length $l_{rec}$, threshold flux $F_{threshold}$, coherence volume $V_{coherence}$, and maximum mass $M_{max}$ on the phi-ladder, all constrained by the time quantum $tau_0 = 1$ tick and golden ratio $phi$.

background

Recognition Science treats physical quantities as occupying discrete phi-tiers, with the golden ratio satisfying $phi^2 = phi + 1$ and fixed-point identity $phi = 1 + 1/phi$ as established in PhiSupport.Lemmas. The fundamental time quantum is $tau_0 = 1$ tick from Constants, while PhiBounds supplies algebraic inequalities confirming $phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2$. Cost supplies the recognition cost function used to weight emission versus storage. This module sits inside the astrophysics derivations that also cover stellar assembly via recognition-weighted collapse and phi-tier nucleosynthesis.

proof idea

this is a definition module, no proofs

why it matters in Recognition Science

This module supplies the observability limits from lambda_rec and tau_0 constraints to the Astrophysics aggregator and the MassToLight unified certificate. It completes the set of three parallel M/L strategies by adding detectable-scale bounds, eliminating external calibration inputs for cosmic structures.
