ModalGeometry equips possibility space with a metric derived from the J-transition function. Researchers in modal quantum interpretations or configuration-space geometry cite it for distance calculations between states. The module supplies definitions for distance, balls, curvature, and period without embedded proofs.

claimThe modal distance is $d(x,y) = J_{transition}(x,y)/τ_0$, obeying $d(x,x)=0$, symmetry $d(x,y)=d(y,x)$, and the triangle inequality on the space of possibilities.

background

This module imports the foundational notions of possibility and actualization to define a metric geometry on configuration space. The J-transition function measures separation between possibilities, scaled by the base time τ₀. It introduces auxiliary objects such as possibility balls, curvature at the identity, and the modal Nyquist limit, all expressed in the Recognition Science setting of J-cost and self-similar scaling.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module supplies the metric primitives required by the parent Modal module. It fills the geometric layer of the modal framework, enabling statements about connectedness, curvature positivity, and period that appear in downstream modal dynamics.
