Structural module for the dark-energy equation of state w(z): ΛCDM is the constant w=-1, while RS supplies a linear-in-z model that equals -1 at z=0 and deviates at z>0 by a φ^{-44} scale. Cosmologists and RS verifiers cite it for the built-in falsifier threshold used against Planck/BAO/SNe. Content is definitional plus elementary algebraic identities and positivity facts.

claimΛCDM has constant equation of state $w_{\Lambda\mathrm{CDM}}=-1$. The RS linear model $w_{\mathrm{RS}}(z)$ satisfies $w_{\mathrm{RS}}(0)=-1$, coincides with ΛCDM at $z=0$, and is strictly distinct for $z>0$, with absolute deviation controlled by the positive scale $\varphi^{-44}$. A positive falsifier threshold bounds that deviation.

background

In standard FLRW cosmology the dark-energy equation of state $w=p/\rho$ is constant and equal to $-1$ for a pure cosmological constant (ΛCDM). Redshift dependence of $w(z)$ is therefore a clean observational discriminator.

Recognition Science places dimensionless scales on the $\varphi$-ladder (imported from the baryon-rung module and the RS constants). The structural small parameter appearing here is $\varphi^{-44}>0$. The module records both the classical constant $w=-1$ and an RS linear ansatz $w_{\mathrm{RS}}(z)$ engineered to match ΛCDM at $z=0$ while producing a controlled, falsifiable drift at positive redshift.

Upstream material is limited to the constants package (RS-native tick $\tau_0$) and the $\varphi$-ladder arithmetic; no dynamical field equations are solved in this file.

proof idea

Mostly a definition module. The ΛCDM value is introduced as the constant $-1$ and proved equal to $-1$ by reflexivity. The RS linear model is defined so that evaluation at $z=0$ recovers $-1$, hence equality with ΛCDM at the present epoch. Distinctness for $z>0$ and the absolute-deviation identity are pure algebra. Positivity of $\varphi^{-44}$ and of the falsifier threshold follow from positivity of powers of $\varphi>1$. No analytic estimates or measure theory are required.

why it matters in Recognition Science

Supplies the structural $w(z)$ objects consumed by the Planck/BAO/SNe likelihood attachment (Verification.DarkEnergyWPlanckLikelihood), which upgrades the dark-energy falsifier row to a dataset-specific certificate. Also imported into Foundation.MeasureForcing (T9 forced measure on recognition states) and the gravity master-theorem handoff integration, so the same $w$-comparison sits on both the cosmology-verification and the gravity-integration paths. Ties the DE sector to the $\varphi$-ladder and the eight-tick arithmetic without introducing new axioms.
