IndisputableMonolith.QFT.LambShift
The QFT.LambShift module supplies the experimental Lamb shift value in MHz together with approximations for alpha and orbital wave behaviors at the origin. Researchers computing QFT corrections inside the Recognition Science framework cite these definitions. The module is organized as a collection of definitions and short lemmas that rest on the imported constants and cost structures.
claimThe experimental Lamb shift frequency expressed in megahertz, together with related approximations to the fine-structure constant and s-wave versus p-wave penetration properties.
background
The module sits inside the QFT domain of Recognition Science and imports the fundamental RS time quantum τ₀ = 1 tick from Constants together with the J-cost machinery from Cost. It therefore inherits the Recognition Composition Law and the phi-ladder conventions already fixed in those upstream modules. The local focus is the Lamb shift as a concrete QFT observable whose numerical value is stated directly in RS-native units.
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs.
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the Lamb shift datum that anchors numerical checks against the alpha band (137.030, 137.039) and the eight-tick octave structure. It therefore feeds any later QFT energy-shift calculations that rely on the same constants and cost functions.
scope and limits
- Does not derive the Lamb shift from the J-functional equation.
- Does not contain a full QFT Lagrangian or Feynman rules.
- Does not compute higher-order radiative corrections beyond the listed approximations.
- Does not link the Lamb shift to mass-rung formulas on the phi-ladder.
