tick_rate_bounded

formal source

 121/-- **THEOREM IC-003.8**: The tick rate is bounded below by τ₀.
 122    No computation can happen "between ticks" — τ₀ is the minimum time unit.
 123    This means the universe cannot process information infinitely fast. -/

 126/-- **THEOREM IC-003.9**: Any RS computation taking n steps requires at least n ticks.
 127    Time(n steps) ≥ n × τ₀ (by discreteness of time in RS). -/
