IndisputableMonolith.Thermodynamics.FermiDirac
The FermiDirac module defines the Fermi-Dirac distribution and supporting functions for fermionic occupation numbers in Recognition Science thermodynamics. Researchers deriving statistical mechanics from the 8-tick phase would cite these definitions when applying the spin-statistics result. The module consists entirely of definitions that import the time quantum and the spin-statistics theorem without containing proofs.
claimThe Fermi-Dirac distribution is $f(E) = 1/(\exp((E-\mu)/kT)+1)$ in RS-native units with time quantum $\tau_0=1$.
background
Recognition Science places this module in the thermodynamics domain after the forcing chain reaches T7 (eight-tick octave) and the spin-statistics theorem. It imports the fundamental time quantum $\tau_0=1$ tick from Constants and the result that fermions obey Fermi-Dirac statistics from the 8-tick phase structure in QFT.SpinStatistics.
The module introduces the standard distribution together with bounded, zero-temperature, and maximum-entropy variants. These sit alongside sibling definitions for Bose-Einstein and Maxwell-Boltzmann cases inside the same module.
The setting uses RS-native units throughout and treats the distribution as the direct statistical consequence of the antisymmetric wavefunction required by the eight-tick phase.
proof idea
this is a definition module, no proofs
why it matters in Recognition Science
The module supplies the fermionic distribution that follows from the spin-statistics theorem derived in QFT.SpinStatistics. It thereby completes the step from the eight-tick octave (T7) to thermodynamic occupation numbers inside the Recognition framework. No downstream declarations are listed in the current graph.
scope and limits
- Does not prove the spin-statistics connection.
- Does not express temperature or chemical potential in explicit RS tick units.
- Does not treat interacting or relativistic corrections.
- Does not address the Bose-Einstein or classical limits beyond sibling declarations.
