IndisputableMonolith.NumberTheory.PrimeLedgerStructure
The PrimeLedgerStructure module verifies that the J-cost satisfies the d'Alembert functional equation and records basic prime factorization facts for the Recognition ledger. Researchers building arithmetic extensions of J cite these results when constructing the prime cost spectrum. The arguments consist of direct algebraic checks against the definition of J together with imported properties from the Cost module.
claimThe module centers on the d'Alembert equation $J(xy)+J(x/y)=2J(x)J(y)+2J(x)+2J(y)$ together with the statement that every prime is irreducible in the positive integers under the J-cost structure.
background
The module imports the RS time quantum τ₀=1 tick from Constants and the J-cost function from the Cost module. It introduces the d'Alembert functional equation as the relation satisfied by J, which is defined via J(x)=(x+x^{-1})/2-1. The local theoretical setting prepares the extension of J from positive reals to natural numbers via prime factorization.
proof idea
This module collects lemmas that verify the d'Alembert equation for J, submultiplicativity, and prime irreducibility. Each lemma applies the functional equation definition and algebraic reduction using results imported from the Cost module.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the d'Alembert verification and prime irreducibility facts imported by PrimeCostSpectrum to define the arithmetic cost c(n)=Σ v_p(n)·J(p). It supplies the bridge from the continuous J function to discrete number theory in the Recognition framework.
