IndisputableMonolith.Gravity.EquivalencePrinciple
The EquivalencePrinciple module defines a single-source mass theory deriving both inertial and gravitational mass from the same J-cost function. Foundational physicists cite it to obtain the equivalence principle as a consequence of J-uniqueness rather than an added postulate. The module organizes the argument through a chain of definitions and ratio lemmas that enforce unity whenever the underlying J-costs match.
claimA single-source mass theory derives inertial mass $m_i$ and gravitational mass $m_g$ from one cost function $J$, so that $m_i = f(J)$ and $m_g = g(J)$ for the same $J$, yielding the ratio $m_i/m_g = 1$.
background
The module belongs to the Gravity domain and imports Constants, whose sole documented content is the RS time quantum $\tau_0 = 1$ tick. Its local setting is the Recognition Science claim that J is the unique cost function, so every mass phenomenon must be expressed through it. The supplied doc-comment states the core thesis: any physical mass theory must take this single-source form because J is the unique cost function.
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the rs_equivalence_principle and supporting ratio lemmas that realize the single-source claim inside the gravity section. It directly implements the doc-comment thesis that J-uniqueness forces equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass. No used_by edges are recorded, indicating it functions as a foundational block for later gravity results.
scope and limits
- Does not derive numerical mass values from the phi-ladder.
- Does not treat multi-source or composite systems.
- Does not address corrections outside RS-native units.
- Does not prove J-uniqueness; that is imported from Constants.
