 251/-! ## Summary -/
 252
 253/-- RS perspective on e:
 254
 255    1. **No simple φ formula**: e and φ seem algebraically independent
 256    2. **Both fundamental**: φ for discrete, e for continuous
 257    3. **Connected through i**: Euler's formula, cos(π/5) = φ/2
 258    4. **J-cost requires e**: For consistent probability normalization
 259    5. **Self-similar growth**: e is the unique base for this -/

 269
 270/-- The derivation would be falsified if:
 271    1. A simple e = f(φ) formula is found
 272    2. Some other base works for J-cost
 273    3. e is not required for normalization -/
