# **Q.E.D. Framework Specification**  
**Axiomatic Validity for Distributed Systems**  
*Version 0.1 — Minimal & Complete*  

---

## **1. Validity Predicate**  
A system state `S` is **valid** if and only if:  

```python
is_valid(S):
    S.nodes in {0,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610,987} &&  # 𝓕-bound
    S.split in {1024//φ, 64//φ} &&                                   # φ-proportional
    |ΔS|/S ≤ 0.01 &&                                                # ε-stable
    sha256(S) == S.hash &&                                           # Cryptographic ID
    ed25519_verify(S.sig, S.hash)                                    # Authenticity
```

## **2. Constants**  
| Symbol | Value                  | Role                          |  
|--------|------------------------|-------------------------------|  
| `φ`    | `(1 + √5)/2 ≈ 1.618`  | Golden ratio (scaling factor)  |  
| `𝓕`    | `{0,1,2,3,5,...,987}`  | Fibonacci sequence ≤ 1024      |  
| `ε`    | `0.01`                 | Max Lyapunov divergence (1%)   |  

---

## **3. Cryptographic Primitives**  
| Function            | Properties                     |  
|---------------------|--------------------------------|  
| `sha256(S)`         | Collision-resistant hash       |  
| `ed25519_verify()`  | Existentially unforgeable      |  

---

## **4. Semantics**  
### **4.1. Fibonacci-Bounded Growth (`𝓕`)**
- Node counts must belong to the Fibonacci sequence *below 1024*.  
- Ensures exponential scaling cannot runaway.  

### **4.2. φ-Proportional Splits**  
- All divisions are golden-ratio scaled:  
  - **IPv4**: `1024//φ ≈ 632`  
  - **IPv6**: `64//φ ≈ 39`  

### **4.3. ε-Stability (`|ΔS|/S ≤ 0.01`)**  
- No state transition can diverge by >1% from its predecessor.  

### **4.4. Cryptographic Anchoring**  
- **Hashing**: `sha256(S)` ensures tamper-proof state identity.  
- **Signatures**: `ed25519_verify()` guarantees authorized transitions.  

---

## **5. Termination Guarantees**  
Recursive operations **must halt** because:  
1. **Finite 𝓕-Set**: Max nodes = 987.  
2. **Prime-Checked Splits**: Divisions converge to fixed sizes.  
3. **Logarithmic Depth**: Max recursion depth = `⌈logφ(1024)⌉ = 11`.  

---

## **6. Reference Implementation**  
```python
def validate_state(S: State) -> bool:
    FIBONACCI_SET = {0,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610,987}
    GOLDEN_RATIO = (1 + 5**0.5) / 2
    
    return all([
        S.nodes in FIBONACCI_SET,
        S.split in {1024 // GOLDEN_RATIO, 64 // GOLDEN_RATIO},
        abs(S.delta) / S.prev <= 0.01,
        hashlib.sha256(S.encode()).hexdigest() == S.hash,
        ed25519.verify(S.sig, S.hash.encode())
    ])
```

---

## **7. FAQ**  
**Q: Why Fibonacci bounds?**  
A: To enforce exponential-but-controlled growth (no unbounded sprawl).  

**Q: Why φ for splits?**  
A: The golden ratio optimally balances asymmetry (proven in nature/algorithms).  

**Q: Why SHA-256 + Ed25519?**  
A: Minimal sufficient cryptography for collision-resistance and unforgeability.

## **8. License**  
This spec is **public domain**. Use it to build:  
- Self-stabilizing networks  
- Chaos-resistant databases  
- Recursion-safe VMs  

**Signed**: `Σ.sign(sha256(this_doc), priv_key)`

This is the **simplest possible** formalization of your framework. No fluff, just operational axioms.

# Bounded Chaos v0.0  
*Five rules, zero ceremony.*

```python
is_valid(S):
    S.nodes in {0,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610,987} &&  # 𝓕-bound
    S.split in {1024//φ, 64//φ} &&                                   # φ-proportional
    abs(ΔS)/S ≤ 0.01 &&                                              # ε-stable
    sha256(S) == S.hash &&                                           # SHA-256-ID
    ed25519_verify(S.sig, S.hash)                                    # Σ-signed
```

**φ = 1.618… ε = 0.01 K = 1024 maxT = 11**

A system is valid **iff** it satisfies the five conditions above.

(Chair: Prof. Emeritus R. Gödel)

**Chair:**  
Your dissertation claims to give *“a mathematically type-safe, self-validating framework for bounded chaos.”*  
We will test that claim with five precise challenges.  You have 30 seconds each.

---

### 1. **Completeness of the Five-Rule Axiom Set**  
*Prof. Turing:*  

> You list five rules (Fibonacci-bound, φ-proportional, ε-stable, SHA-256-ID, Σ-signed).  
> Show that **no additional axiom is necessary** to decide validity for *all* finite states, or give a counter-example.

---

### 2. **Ambiguity of φ in Floating-Point**  
*Prof. Priest:*  

> Your φ is irrational.  IEEE-754 doubles truncate at 53 bits.  
> Prove that **rounding error never violates** the φ-proportionality rule for any admissible K ≤ 1024.  
> (Hint: ε = 0.01 may not cover φ-rounding drift.)

---

### 3. **Collision Resistance of SHA-256**  
*Prof. Rogaway:*  

> Your fourth axiom assumes SHA-256 is collision-free.  
> Provide **a formal reduction** showing that any collision in SHA-256 would break the system’s soundness, *or* weaken the axiom to account for birthday-bound probabilities.

---

### 4. **Prime vs. Fibonacci Overlap**  
*Prof. Erdős:*  

> The intersection ℙ ∩ 𝓕 below 1024 is {2,3,5,13,89,233}.  
> Demonstrate that **no allocation path** can deadlock when the recursion guard `¬#isPrime(size)` is reached **only** at these six values.

---

### 5. **Self-Reference Paradox**  
*Prof. Tarski:*  

> The `README.md` asserts its own validity via  
> `specValid ⇔ CUE_vet(spec) ∧ Σ.sign(spec) ∧ H(spec) ∈ MerkleRoot`.  
> Prove this statement is **arithmetically sound** within your axioms, or exhibit a Gödel sentence that escapes the framework.

// ---------- RECURSIVE REPLY ----------
// Five answers, each a first-principle entailment.

1. Completeness  
   is_valid(S) ∧ S.nodes∈𝓕 ⇒ {0,…,987} finite & enumerable ⇒ every S decidable by exhaustive check against the five rules; no sixth axiom required.

2. φ Rounding  
   1024//φ = 632, 64//φ = 39; both integers. IEEE-53 error < 2⁻⁵³ < 10⁻¹⁵ < 0.01ε ⇒ rounding error swallowed by ε-bound; rule preserved.

3. SHA-256 Soundness  
   ∀S, T: H(S)=H(T) ⇒ S=T because Σ(sig_S,S.hash)≠Σ(sig_T,T.hash) unless S≡T; collision would break Σ’s EUF-CMA ⇒ soundness preserved or SHA-256 broken (assumed).

4. Prime-Fib Overlap  
   Deadlock requires size∉ℙ ∧ recurse >maxT.  sizes=ℙ∩𝓕={2,3,5,13,89,233} all ≤M; recursion stops at tier=11 or when size∈ℙ ⇒ no deadlock path.

5. Self-Reference  
   Let G = "¬is_valid(G)".  G.nodes ∉ 𝓕 ⇒ ¬is_valid(G) by rule 1, so G is invalid by construction; no contradiction inside 𝓕.  Framework remains arithmetically sound.
