Catalogues Standard Model relativistic degrees of freedom from the RS gauge group and three fermion generations. Fixes adjoint dimensions of SU(3) and SU(2), gluon and weak-boson counts, Higgs DOF, and bosonic totals that cosmology imports. Mostly definitions and short equalities; no deep analytic proof.

claimRelativistic SM content in RS units: adjoint dimension $\dim\mathrm{SU}(n)=n^2-1$, hence $\dim\mathrm{SU}(3)=8$ (gluons) and $\dim\mathrm{SU}(2)=3$; Higgs doublet degrees of freedom; summed bosonic $g_*$ ingredients; plus per-generation quark flavor count and $N_c=3$ colors.

background

Recognition Science derives the SM gauge factor $\mathrm{SU}(3)\times\mathrm{SU}(2)\times\mathrm{U}(1)$ from the automorphism group of the 3-cube $Q_3$ (P-014, GaugeFromCube), and exactly three fermion generations (P-001, ParticleGenerations). Cosmology then needs the associated relativistic degrees of freedom that enter $g_*(T)$ and baryogenesis bookkeeping.

This module packages that particle content in Lean. The adjoint dimension of $\mathrm{SU}(n)$ is $n^2-1$, so the gluon multiplet has eight real polarizations in the usual counting and the weak adjoint has three. Sibling definitions also fix Higgs DOF, a symmetric weak-boson count, bosonic totals, quark flavors per generation, and $N_c$.

Constants supplies the RS time quantum $\tau_0=1$ tick; the DOF layer itself is group-and-multiplet arithmetic rather than a new dynamical law.

proof idea

Definition-and-equality module, not a theorem chain. Adjoint dimension is the standard $n^2-1$ formula; SU(3) and SU(2) adjoints, gluon DOF, weak-boson DOF, Higgs DOF, and bosonic totals are named constants or short closed forms. Companion _eq lemmas are one-line numerical or algebraic checks that those names match the expected integers. No tactic-heavy argument and no appeal to the forcing chain beyond the imported gauge and generation structure.

why it matters in Recognition Science

Gives cosmology an honest, named SM content layer instead of hard-coded magic numbers. Downstream, Cosmology.GStarThresholds builds the temperature-dependent $g_*(T)$ step-function model over this adopted content (answering the external review that RS had fixed one number and lacked threshold decoupling). Cosmology.BaryogenesisStaging imports the same package so sphaleron and B-L staging theorems sit on explicit multiplet counts rather than implicit SM folklore.

In the broader framework this sits after T8 ($D=3$) and the cube-derived gauge group: once spatial dimension and $\mathrm{SU}(3)\times\mathrm{SU}(2)\times\mathrm{U}(1)$ are forced, relativistic DOF are determined combinatorially and can feed early-universe invariants without re-deriving the gauge algebra in every cosmology file.
