The Derivatives module supplies definitions for standard basis vectors and basic differential operators required for tensor calculus in the Recognition Science relativity setting. It is imported by nine modules that build covariant derivatives, curvature, and the discrete-to-continuum bridge. Content consists solely of definitions with zero proof bodies.

claimDefines the standard basis vector $e_μ$, the coordinate ray, the partial derivative operator $∂_v$, the second derivative, and the Laplacian $∇²$ on the pseudo-Riemannian manifold equipped with the metric tensor.

background

The module sits in the Relativity domain and imports the Tensor module, which is explicitly marked as a scaffold module outside the certificate chain. It introduces basisVec for the standard basis $e_μ$ together with partialDeriv_v2, secondDeriv, and laplacian operators. These objects operate on the coordinate structures supplied by the upstream Tensor definitions and support the J-cost lattice to continuum curvature path described in the DiscreteBridge module.

proof idea

This is a definition module, no proofs.

why it matters in Recognition Science

Supplies the derivative primitives used by the Calculus aggregator, RadialDerivativesProofs (which replaces seven axioms with theorems via HasDerivAt and deriv rules), CovariantDerivative (defining $∇ρ T^λ{μν} = ∂ρ T^λ{μν} + Γ$ terms), Curvature, DiscreteBridge (lattice J-cost → quadratic defect → Laplacian → Ricci scalar → Einstein tensor), LeviCivitaTheorem, Metric, and ParallelTransport. It therefore anchors the discrete-to-continuum architecture that connects Recognition Science lattice theory to the Einstein field equations.
