IndisputableMonolith.Cosmology.EtaBPrefactorDerivation
The module derives the identity φ^8 = 21φ + 13 from φ^2 = φ + 1, together with bounds, inverses, and the expanded form of c_RS used for the η_B prefactor. Cosmologists citing the Recognition Science treatment of baryon asymmetry reference these algebraic steps. Each result follows from direct recurrence expansion or interval arithmetic on the golden-ratio powers.
claim$\phi^8 = 21\phi + 13$ where $\phi^2 = \phi + 1$, with companion bounds $\phi^8_\text{lower} \le \phi^8 \le \phi^8_\text{upper}$, the inverse relation $\phi^{-8} = \phi^8 - 21\phi - 12$, and the RS speed $c_\text{RS} = \phi^5/\pi$ expanded via the same identity.
background
The module belongs to the cosmology section of Recognition Science and imports the base time quantum τ₀ = 1 tick together with the integration-gap integer D²(D+2) = 45 at D = 3. It works entirely inside the phi-ladder generated by the fixed-point relation φ² = φ + 1 that appears at T6 of the forcing chain. The listed sibling declarations (phi_pow_8_fib, phi_zpow_neg8_eq_inv, correctionFactor, c_RS, c_RS_expanded, c_RS_pos) supply the concrete algebraic objects needed for the η_B prefactor.
proof idea
The module consists of short, independent theorems. Each applies the recurrence φ^n = φ^{n-1} + φ^{n-2} (or its negative-power form) a fixed number of times; interval bounds are obtained by monotonicity of the increasing function x ↦ x^8 on the positive reals. No external lemmas beyond the defining relation are required.
why it matters in Recognition Science
These identities close the algebraic layer required for the η_B worked examples cited in the companion paper and are imported by the root IndisputableMonolith module. They therefore sit inside the T7–T8 segment of the forcing chain that fixes the eight-tick octave and D = 3. The module supplies the concrete prefactor expressions that later stages of the cosmology chain consume.
scope and limits
- Does not evaluate the numerical size of η_B itself.
- Does not incorporate loop corrections or running couplings.
- Does not address the consciousness-gap interpretation of the integration gap.
- Does not prove that the phi ladder is the unique self-similar solution.
