IndisputableMonolith.Gravity.EquivalencePrinciple
This module defines a mass theory in Recognition Science that derives both inertial and gravitational mass from the single J-cost function. Researchers unifying gravity with the recognition framework cite it to ground the equivalence principle in J-uniqueness. The module organizes the argument through single-source definitions and ratio-unity conditions that follow from the forcing chain. It supplies the structural backbone for the claim that every physical mass theory must take this form.
claimA mass theory in which inertial mass $m_i$ and gravitational mass $m_g$ both arise from the same cost function $J(x) = (x + x^{-1})/2 - 1$, so that $m_i/m_g = 1$ whenever the sources coincide.
background
The module sits in the Gravity domain and imports the Constants module, which fixes the RS time quantum at τ₀ = 1 tick. It works from the J-cost function whose uniqueness is established upstream in the forcing chain. The supplied doc-comment states that any physical mass theory must have this form because J is the unique cost function. Sibling declarations introduce the single-source mass theory together with equivalence ratios that equal unity under identical sources.
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs. It collects the structural definitions for single-source mass theories, equivalence ratios, and unity conditions that implement the RS claim directly from J-uniqueness.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module advances the RS claim, quoted in the doc-comment, that every physical mass theory must derive from the single J-cost. It supplies the foundation for downstream statements on equivalence ratios and single-source unity, linking to T5 J-uniqueness and the T0-T8 forcing chain. The parent structures include the single-source equivalence and ratio-unity results that close the argument for the equivalence principle.
scope and limits
- Does not derive numerical mass spectra or specific rung values.
- Does not treat multi-source or many-body gravitational systems.
- Does not prove J-uniqueness, which is imported from the forcing chain.
- Does not address quantum-field or curvature couplings beyond the mass definitions.
