IndisputableMonolith.Cosmology.DarkEnergyScaleAffinityDerivation
Module deriving the lower admissibility condition for scale-affine redshift laws in dark energy. With only endpoints a=0 and a=1 fixed, a normalized ledger fraction cannot adopt a nonlinear coordinate without extra structure, so it must preserve endpoint interpolation. Cosmologists citing the BIT-kernel dark-energy plan use this to force linear Z-scaling. The argument proceeds by encoding a no-hidden-scale hypothesis and discharging identity, linearity, and canonical-kernel consequences.
claimIf a normalized ledger fraction on the cosmic scale factor has only the early endpoint $a=0$ and the present endpoint $a=1$ available, and admits no hidden scale coordinate, then it is scale-affine: it preserves endpoint interpolation. Consequently the deviation and kernel are forced into the canonical linear form in the redshift coordinate $Z$, yielding $\delta w(z)=\delta w_0\cdot Z(z)/Z_{\mathrm{today}}$ under the BIT kernel.
background
Recognition Science cosmology treats dark-energy equation-of-state deviations as ledger fractions on the cosmic scale factor $a$. The parent module CosmicZScaleLaw tightens the last shape residue in that plan: under the BIT kernel, CosmicZHistory asserts $\delta w(z)=\delta w_0\cdot Z(z)/Z_{\mathrm{today}}$.
The present module supplies the lower admissibility condition behind that scale-affine $Z$-law. A "no hidden scale coordinate" hypothesis says that, given only the early endpoint $a=0$ and today $a=1$, the normalized fraction cannot introduce an extra nonlinear reparameterization without adding structure beyond the ledger. Endpoint interpolation is therefore forced.
Sibling declarations package this as a certificate: maps from the no-hidden hypothesis to scale-affinity, identity on the coordinate, linear $Z$, and the canonical deviation/kernel forms.
proof idea
The module is theorem-bearing, not a pure definition file. It introduces a NoHiddenScaleCoordinate predicate and a canonical instance, then proves a chain of forcing lemmas: no-hidden implies scale-affine; forces the identity coordinate; forces linear $Z$; forces the canonical deviation and kernel. A final ScaleAffinityDerivationCert bundles the chain for downstream discharge. Proofs are algebraic reductions from the two-endpoint normalization plus the absence of extra scale structure, feeding the BIT-kernel identity already established upstream in CosmicZScaleLaw.
why it matters in Recognition Science
This module closes the admissibility gap under the dark-energy shape plan: without it, the linear $Z$-scaling $\delta w(z)\propto Z(z)$ would rest on an unstated coordinate choice. It sits directly under CosmicZScaleLaw and supplies the lower condition for ScaleAffineZLaw. In the broader RS forcing picture it is a local rigidity statement (two endpoints, no hidden scale), analogous in spirit to the uniqueness steps that fix $J$ and $\varphi$ in the foundation chain, though confined to cosmic ledger fractions. Downstream consumers are certificates and history theorems that quote the canonical kernel; used_by is currently empty at the module edge, so the immediate parent is the imported CosmicZScaleLaw plan.
scope and limits
- Does not derive the BIT kernel itself; assumes it from CosmicZScaleLaw.
- Does not fix numerical dark-energy parameters or $\delta w_0$.
- Does not treat multi-endpoint or stochastic reparameterizations.
- Does not claim observational uniqueness beyond the two-endpoint ledger setting.
- Does not address spatial curvature or late-time modified gravity outside $Z$-scaling.
