This module supplies the recognition rungs that locate the iron-group binding-energy peak on the phi-ladder. It sets the central rung at 26 with stable neighbors at 25 and 27, matching the observed Z band 25-28. Nuclear physicists comparing RS mass predictions to measured binding energies would cite these definitions. The module is built entirely from definitions and elementary properties of the ladder.

claimThe iron-group binding-energy peak occurs at recognition rung $k=26$ on the phi-ladder, with adjacent stable rungs $k=25$ and $k=27$; the empirical iron band satisfies $25leq Zleq 28$.

background

The module imports the RS time quantum $tau_0=1$ tick from Constants and places nuclear binding energies on the phi-ladder whose spacing is governed by the Recognition Composition Law. Key objects introduced are iron_peak_rung (the central rung), lower_adjacent_rung and upper_adjacent_rung (its immediate neighbors), per_nucleon_phi_factor (the multiplicative correction per nucleon), and alpha_rung (the electromagnetic rung). These sit inside the broader mass formula yardstick times phi to the power (rung minus 8 plus gap(Z)).

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs. It consists of direct assignments of integer rungs together with elementary lemmas establishing positivity, successor relations, and containment inside the empirical band.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module supplies the concrete rung values required by the downstream BindingEnergyPeakScoreCard for the P3-binding-peak scorecard. That scorecard states the predicted peak sits at rung 26 with neighbors 25 and 27 inside the band 25 to 28, thereby linking the phi-ladder mass formula to the observed iron-group maximum.
