IndisputableMonolith.Numerics.Interval.AlphaBounds
The Numerics.Interval.AlphaBounds module certifies that alpha_seed equals 4π·11 and lies strictly above 138.230048. Researchers verifying fine-structure constant intervals in Recognition Science cite these results when assembling dimensionless predictions. The module assembles the inequality by importing the closed-form w8 weight and Alpha constants, then applying Taylor expansions of the exponential at three nearby points.
claim$\alpha_{\rm seed}=4\pi\cdot11>138.230048$
background
Recognition Science constrains the fine-structure constant via the eight-tick octave and the J-uniqueness relation. The upstream W8Bounds module supplies the explicit gap weight w8=(348+210√2−(204+130√2)φ)/7≈2.490569. The Alpha module provides the base seed definition. This module introduces the interval bounds that certify the numerical value of alpha_seed using those inputs.
The local setting is the preparation of rigorous interval certificates for all subsequent dimensionless constants before mass ladders or mixing angles are evaluated.
proof idea
The module is organized as a chain of auxiliary bound lemmas. Each lemma invokes the Taylor polynomial of degree 10 for exp together with an explicit remainder estimate at the evaluation points 0.48, 0.481 and 0.483; the resulting ceiling and floor inequalities are then combined to sandwich alpha_seed.
why it matters in Recognition Science
These alpha bounds are imported by HartreeRydbergScoreCard (rows P1-C04, P1-C02, P1-C03), Masses.NumericalPredictions (all verified mass intervals), CKMGeometry (mixing-angle derivation), ElectronGMinus2ScoreCard (Schwinger term), and ElectronMass.Necessity (T9 forcing). The module therefore supplies the numerical foundation required by the T8-to-T11 chain.
scope and limits
- Does not derive alpha from the functional equation.
- Does not compare the interval to experimental data.
- Does not extend the Taylor analysis beyond the three listed abscissae.
- Does not produce closed-form expressions for alpha.
