IndisputableMonolith.Information.ComputationLimitsStructure
This module defines the fundamental tick as the minimum time quantum in Recognition Science and assembles the associated computation limits structure. Researchers deriving the physical Church-Turing thesis or locating physics in the complexity zoo cite it. The module consists of definitions and supporting lemmas on the tick and phi properties built directly from the imported Constants and Cost modules.
claimThe fundamental tick satisfies $\tau_0 = 1$ tick (RS-native units). Maximum computation rate is the reciprocal of the tick. The golden ratio $\phi$ admits no exact finite computation and satisfies its minimal polynomial with no rational roots.
background
Recognition Science derives all physics from recognition costs and the forcing chain. This module sits in the Information domain and imports Constants, whose doc states "The fundamental RS time quantum (RS-native). $\tau_0 = 1$ tick.", together with Cost. It introduces the atomic time unit, position of ticks, maximum rate bounds, ledger-derived limits, and irrationality properties of $\phi$ that prevent exact computation.
proof idea
this is a definition module, no proofs
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the tick-based limits imported by ChurchTuringPhysicsStructure (IC-003: Physical Church-Turing Thesis) and PhysicsComplexityStructure (IC-005: Computational Complexity of Physics). It supplies the concrete time quantum and rate bounds required for those derivations of the RS answer to the physical Church-Turing question.
scope and limits
- Does not derive the Physical Church-Turing Thesis itself.
- Does not place physics in any specific complexity class.
- Does not treat continuous-time or quantum computation models.
- Does not prove rationality results for constants other than $\phi$.
