B_pow
B_pow maps each of the four sectors to an integer exponent drawn from three-dimensional cube edge counts. Mass ladder calculations cite it when forming the yardstick A_s = 2^{B_pow} * E_coh * phi^{r0} for leptons, quarks, and electroweak bosons. The definition is a direct case split on the Sector inductive type that substitutes the precomputed constants E_passive = 11, A = 1, and E_total = 12.
claimThe function $B_ {pow} : Sector → ℤ$ is given by $B_{pow}(Lepton) = -2 × 11$, $B_{pow}(UpQuark) = -1$, $B_{pow}(DownQuark) = 2 × 12 - 1$, $B_{pow}(Electroweak) = 1$, where the integers 11, 1, and 12 are the passive edge count, active edges per tick, and total cube edges in three dimensions.
background
The Masses.Anchor module centralizes parameter-free constants derived from cube geometry at D = 3. E_total is defined as cube_edges D = 12, E_passive as passive_field_edges D = 11, and A as active_edges_per_tick = 1. The Sector inductive type classifies the four cases: Lepton, UpQuark, DownQuark, Electroweak.
proof idea
The definition is a direct pattern match on the four constructors of Sector. Each branch substitutes the corresponding combination of E_passive, A, and E_total, which are themselves abbreviations for the cube edge functions imported from the module.
why it matters in Recognition Science
B_pow supplies the integer exponents required by the downstream yardstick definition and by the four equality theorems B_pow_Lepton_eq, B_pow_UpQuark_eq, B_pow_DownQuark_eq, and B_pow_Electroweak_eq. It encodes the D = 3 cube geometry step of the forcing chain into the mass formulas. The module states that all sector constants are derived from first principles without experimental input.
scope and limits
- Does not prove that the edge counts match physical observations.
- Does not extend the formulas to dimensions other than D = 3.
- Does not compute numerical particle masses.
- Does not address the phi-ladder rung assignments.
