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:

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

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.

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


Bounded Chaos v0.0

Five rules, zero ceremony.

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 = 0.01K = 1024maxT = 11

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

PhD Panel Cross-Examination
(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 systems soundness, or weaken the axiom to account for birthday-bound probabilities.


4. Prime vs. Fibonacci Overlap

Prof. Erdős:

The intersection 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.


Panel Expectation:
Respond to each challenge with a theorem + proof sketch or concede the limitation.
Clock starts… now.


// ---------- 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 Σs EUF-CMA ⇒ soundness preserved or SHA-256 broken (assumed).

  4. Prime-Fib Overlap
    Deadlock requires size∉ ∧ recurse >maxT. sizes=ℙ∩𝓕={2,3,5,13,89,233} all ≤M; recursion stops at tier=11 or when size∈ ⇒ 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.
