IndisputableMonolith.Gravity.DiscreteCurvature
This module supplies the discrete geometry primitives for curvature on a cubic lattice in Recognition Science gravity. It fixes the cube dihedral angle at pi over 2 and defines deficit angles together with their scaling under deformation. Lattice gravity researchers cite these definitions when assembling the Ricci scalar in the LatticeRicci module. The module consists entirely of definitions and elementary lemmas that establish zero deficit in the flat case and quadratic scaling with deformation amplitude.
claimThe dihedral angle of a cube satisfies $θ = π/2$. The flat deficit angle vanishes identically. For a deformed lattice the deficit angle $δ$ scales as $a^2$ where $a$ is the deformation parameter; the discrete curvature is recovered from the deficit via $κ = δ / A$ with $A$ the local area element.
background
In Recognition Science the gravitational sector is discretized on a cubic lattice whose edges are measured in the fundamental time quantum τ₀ = 1 tick supplied by the Constants module. The dihedral angle between adjacent faces of each cube is fixed at π/2 in the flat metric. Deficit angles quantify the angular defect at vertices when the lattice is deformed, furnishing a discrete proxy for sectional curvature.
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs. It introduces the named constants cube_dihedral, cubes_per_edge and the functions deficit_angle_flat, deficit_angle_deformed, curvature_from_deficit together with their immediate algebraic properties.
why it matters in Recognition Science
These definitions are imported by the LatticeRicci module, which assembles them into the lattice Ricci scalar and proves convergence to the continuum Ricci scalar in the linearized weak-field regime. The module thereby supplies the discrete geometric foundation for the gravity sector, consistent with the spatial dimension D = 3 fixed by the forcing chain.
