The PauliExclusion module states the core mathematical fact underlying the Pauli exclusion principle for fermions in the Recognition Science QFT setting. Atomic physicists and QFT modelers cite it when linking antisymmetric wavefunctions to zero occupancy at identical states. The argument is a one-line substitution of a = b into the given antisymmetry condition.

claimIf a wavefunction satisfies $ψ(a,b) = -ψ(b,a)$ for all states $a,b$, then $ψ(a,a) = 0$.

background

The module sits inside the QFT derivations and imports the 8-tick phase structure that produces the spin-statistics link: fermions are tied to antisymmetric wavefunctions. It also draws on the base time quantum τ₀ = 1 tick. Sibling definitions introduce QuantumState together with explicit formulas for s, p, d, f subshell capacities and the first three shell capacities.

proof idea

The central theorem is obtained by direct substitution a = b into the antisymmetry hypothesis. The remaining declarations supply closed-form expressions for subshell and shell occupancies that follow from the exclusion rule.

why it matters in Recognition Science

The module supplies the exclusion principle to the parent QFT module, bridging the spin-statistics result (derived from the eight-tick octave) to concrete atomic structure. It completes one Tier 2 derivation step listed in the QFT module documentation.
