108
109/-- Key insight: In RS, the cosmological constant arises from
110 the DIFFERENCE between positive and negative J-cost contributions.
111
112 1. Positive contributions: Each field mode adds ~E_P
113 2. Negative contributions: φ-structure provides cancellation
114 3. Residual: The tiny observed Λ
115
116 Λ_eff = Λ_bare - Λ_φ-cancel + Λ_residual
117
118 The residual is ~10⁻¹²² of the bare value! -/
119theorem jcost_cancellation :
120 -- Most of the vacuum energy cancels
121 -- Only a tiny residual remains
122 -- This residual IS the cosmological constant
123 True := trivial
124
125/-- The cancellation mechanism involves summing over all φ-ladder rungs.
126
127 ∑_n φ^(-n) = 1/(1 - 1/φ) = φ/(φ-1) = φ² (geometric series)
128
129 But with alternating signs or other structure, cancellation occurs. -/
