The Gap45.ShimmerFactor module defines the shimmer factor that quantifies the mismatch between the 8-tick body clock and the 45-fold phase structure under the coprimality condition gcd(8,45)=1. Researchers analyzing periodic constraints in Recognition Science would cite these definitions when examining finite-horizon decision incompatibilities. The module consists of a sequence of definitions for periods, their LCM and difference, plus the shimmer factor with its equality and positivity properties.

claimLet $P_b=8$ be the body-clock period and $P_g=45$ the gap period. Define the least common multiple $L=360$, the difference $d=37$, and the shimmer factor $s=360/37$. Then $s>1$ and $s$ is positive.

background

The module sits inside the Gap45 domain and imports the RecognitionBarrier result that gcd(8,45)=1 prevents any finite sub-period from aligning the 8-tick cycle with the 45-fold structure. The 8-tick period is the body clock fixed by T6 of the forcing chain as $2^D=8$ with $D=3$. Definitions introduced here include bodyPeriod for the 8-tick interval, gapPeriod for the 45-fold interval, gapLCM as their least common multiple, gapDiff as their absolute difference, and shimmerFactor as the ratio 360/37 together with its basic arithmetic properties.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs. It supplies the period constants, their LCM and difference, the explicit equality shimmerFactor_eq_360_div_37, and the two inequalities shimmerFactor_pos and shimmerFactor_gt_one.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The shimmer factor supplies a concrete numerical measure of the Gap-45 mismatch and feeds the larger Recognition Science treatment of the barrier. It directly instantiates the eight-tick octave from T7 and the coprimality obstruction stated in the upstream RecognitionBarrier doc-comment. No downstream theorems are listed, yet the definitions close the basic arithmetic layer required for any further Gap45 analysis.
