  34/-! ## Discreteness forcing (editor concern #4)
  35
  36The editor flagged that "continuous configurations cannot stabilize under J-cost
  37minimization" is hand-wavy. We record the precise formal content here: the
  38`discreteness_forcing_principle` from `Foundation.DiscretenessForcing` establishes
  39that J has a unique isolated minimum at x=1, positive curvature J''(0)=1, and
  40any zero of the defect in R>0 is non-isolated in the reals (every neighborhood
  41contains other points). The discrete ledger arises because stable closure requires
  42finite cost barriers between distinct states, which continuous configurations lack.

  46/-- The discreteness-forcing principle from the Lean framework.
  47    Re-exported as a proposition-level statement for the DIF paper.
  48    The four conjuncts are:
  49    (1) defect(x) >= 0 for all x > 0
  50    (2) defect(x) = 0 iff x = 1 (unique minimum)
  51    (3) J_log''(0) = 1 (positive curvature at equilibrium)
  52    (4) Any zero of defect is non-isolated in R (continuous neighborhoods
  53        always contain nearby points, preventing finite cost barriers)
  54
  55    The paper's Section 3.1 claim that "continuous configurations cannot
  56    stabilize" follows from conjunct (4): in a continuous space, x=1 has
  57    no finite cost barrier separating it from nearby configurations.
