IndisputableMonolith.Gravity.Inflation
The Gravity.Inflation module defines the α-attractor parameter α = φ² arising from self-similarity of the J-cost functional near x=1. It supplies supporting definitions for spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio bounds used in RS inflation models. Cosmologists working in the Recognition framework cite these when linking the φ² = φ + 1 identity to inflaton curvature. The module consists entirely of definitions and bounds with no proofs.
claimThe α-attractor parameter satisfies $α = φ²$, where $φ$ is the self-similar fixed point of the Recognition Composition Law and the inflaton potential inherits the quadratic character of $J(x)$ near $x=1$.
background
Recognition Science derives physics from the J-cost functional satisfying the Recognition Composition Law, with $J(x) = ½(x + x^{-1}) - 1$. The imported Constants module supplies the fundamental RS time quantum $τ₀ = 1$ tick. This module introduces the α-attractor in the Gravity domain, where the inflaton potential inherits the quadratic character of $J(x)$ near $x=1$ and the identity $φ² = φ + 1$ sets the curvature scale.
proof idea
this is a definition module, no proofs
why it matters in Recognition Science
This module supplies the α-attractor parameter that feeds the JCostInflaton module, which proves the Recognition Composition Law forces the inflaton potential to be $J(x) = ½(x + x^{-1}) - 1$ and derives slow-roll parameters ε and η. It fills the step connecting T5 J-uniqueness and T6 phi fixed point to inflationary observables. The downstream module uses these definitions to obtain the curvature of J in log coordinates.
scope and limits
- Does not derive the full slow-roll parameters ε and η.
- Does not address reheating or post-inflationary evolution.
- Does not connect definitions to specific observational datasets.
- Does not prove the value of the spectral index from first principles.
