DirectCoshAdd encodes the additive form of the Recognition Composition Law for an auxiliary real function Gf. Researchers proving T5 uniqueness in Recognition Science cite this definition when converting the multiplicative RCL into its d'Alembert-style additive version. The definition is a direct encoding of the equation without lemmas or reductions.

claimLet $G_f : ℝ → ℝ$. The predicate DirectCoshAdd($G_f$) holds precisely when $G_f(t+u) + G_f(t-u) = 2 G_f(t) G_f(u) + 2 G_f(t) + 2 G_f(u)$ for all real $t,u$.

background

The module supplies functional-equation helpers for the T5 cost-uniqueness argument. Gf denotes the transformed cost obtained from a normalized F via the map G, which converts the multiplicative composition law into an additive equation on the real line.

proof idea

This is a definition. It directly states the quantified equation with no lemmas, tactics, or reductions applied.

why it matters in Recognition Science

DirectCoshAdd supplies the target predicate for lemmas that derive the d'Alembert form from the composition law, feeding washburn_uniqueness and washburn_uniqueness_aczel. These theorems establish that any reciprocal normalized cost obeying the RCL and calibration must coincide with the J-cost J(x) = (x + x^{-1})/2 - 1, closing the T5 step of the forcing chain.
