  69
  70The trivial witness `S_Regge = S_EH` proves the *existence* of a
  71Regge value satisfying the bound, but does not derive the Regge
  72action from a discrete triangulation independently of the EH value.
  73The physically interesting case (where `S_Regge` is computed from
  74a triangulation and `S_EH` is the continuum integral) requires the
  75full Cheeger–Müller machinery.
  76
  77So the discharge is **structural**: the existence statement is
  78provable, but the substantive content (that real Regge actions
  79converge to EH) needs a separate physical-discharge proof.
  80
  81The original `axiom` in `TwoLimitsTheorem.lean` carries the same
  82existence statement and so is no stronger than the trivial witness
  83for the proof obligation as currently written.  A future Lean port
  84of Cheeger–Müller would replace `cheeger_muller_witness_trivial`
  85with an actual discrete-construction-based proof.
