IndisputableMonolith.Cosmology.BaryogenesisStaging
Stages the Standard Model sphaleron reprocessing of baryon number after electroweak equilibration: the classical factor $B=(28/79)(B-L)$ for three generations, together with freeze-out window, washout exponent, and relic-charge bookkeeping. Cosmologists linking Sakharov conditions to a final $B$ asymmetry would cite it. The module is mostly definitions and elementary positivity/bound lemmas on that coefficient, wired to EW transition, sphaleron rate, and $g_\star$ imports.
claimAfter electroweak sphaleron equilibration with three fermion generations, the reprocessed baryon density satisfies $B = \frac{28}{79}(B-L)$. The module also introduces the freeze-out window, chemical potential $\mu_{B-L}$, susceptibility, equilibrium $n_{B-L}^{\mathrm{eq}}$, washout exponent, and relic charge, with elementary facts that the reprocessing factor lies in $(0,1)$ and that $B_{\mathrm{final}}=0$ if and only if $B-L=0$.
background
Baryogenesis needs the three Sakharov conditions: $B$ violation, $C$/$CP$ violation, and departure from equilibrium. In the Standard Model the nonperturbative agents of $B+L$ violation above the electroweak scale are sphalerons. Their rate is conventionally written $\Gamma_{\mathrm{sph}}/T^4=\kappa_{\mathrm{sph}}\alpha_W^5$; once active and in equilibrium they drive $B+L$ toward zero while preserving $B-L$, leaving a fixed linear map from the conserved $B-L$ charge onto the final baryon density.
For three generations that map is the textbook coefficient $28/79$. The present module packages that coefficient as the sphaleron reprocessing factor and surrounds it with the thermodynamic auxiliaries needed to stage a freeze-out calculation: $\mu_{B-L}$, susceptibility, equilibrium number density, washout exponent, and a freeze-out window relative to the electroweak transition temperature on the $\varphi$-ladder.
Upstream modules supply the EW transition and Hubble comparison, the sphaleron rate scaffold, Sakharov-from-ledger language, the Jarlskog $CP$ measure, and the SM relativistic count $g_\star=106.75$. Those are imported as setting, not re-derived here.
proof idea
Definition-and-staging module rather than a deep proof development. The core object is the constant reprocessing factor $28/79$, recorded with positivity and strict-upper-bound lemmas (factor in $(0,1)$). Equilibrium identities then give $B_{\mathrm{final}}=0$ precisely when $B-L=0$, and an obstruction statement for a nonzero final $B$ when that charge vanishes. Freeze-out window, chemical potential, susceptibility, equilibrium density, washout exponent, and relic charge are introduced as named definitions tying the coefficient to the imported EW and sphaleron-rate scaffolding. No heavy tactic proof is required beyond elementary arithmetic and rewriting.
why it matters in Recognition Science
Closes the bookkeeping gap between "sphalerons are active" and "what $B$ remains after they shut off." Without the $28/79$ map, a ledger-level Sakharov story cannot convert a primordial $B-L$ into a predicted relic baryon asymmetry. The module sits downstream of the EW phase-transition scaffold, the sphaleron-rate module, Sakharov-from-ledger, Jarlskog $CP$ input, and $g_\star$ bookkeeping, and stages those ingredients for a later full baryogenesis assembly (no downstream consumers are wired yet in the graph). In Recognition Science terms it is SM-content staging on top of the $\varphi$-ladder cosmology layer, not a T0–T8 forcing step; its value is making the classical reprocessing coefficient and washout/freeze-out language explicit and reusable.
scope and limits
- Does not derive 28/79 from RS first principles; adopts the SM three-generation value.
- Does not prove a numerical relic η_B or solve Boltzmann equations.
- Does not establish Sakharov conditions or compute the sphaleron rate Γ_sph.
- Does not predict T_EW, H(T_EW), or the freeze-out temperature from the φ-ladder alone.
- Does not address beyond-SM sources of B−L or non-standard generation counts.
