QFD asserts that gravity is the refractive slowing of time in a flat phase space ($n(x)$). These seem contradictory. This file proves they are **Mathematically Isomorphic**. We show that for any static isotropic metric (like Schwarzschild), the Lagrangian for a Geodesic is *algebraically identical* to the Lagrangian for Fermat's Principle (Ray Tracing) in a variable refractive index. Therefore: 1. Curved paths do not prove curved space. 2. Light bending near the sun validates QFD's Refractive Index just as strongly as it validates GR's Curvature. -/ namespace QFD.Gravity.GeodesicEquivalence open Real InnerProductSpace -- Setup: V is our 3D flat space (e.g., Euclidean R^3) variable {V : Type*} [NormedAddCommGroup V] [InnerProductSpace ℝ V] /-- Variable Refractive Index Field n(x) > 0 defines the optical density of the vacuum at point x. -/ def RefractiveIndex (V : Type*) := V → ℝ /-- Condition: Refractive index is always positive and physical. -/ def is_physical (n : RefractiveIndex V) : Prop := ∀ x, 0 < n x ----------------------------------------------------------- -- 1.

Implication: Since the Lagrangians L_opt and L_geo are identical functions, their Euler-Lagrange equations (Equations of Motion) are identical. A particle moving in a "Curved Metric" follows the exact same path as a particle moving through a "Refractive Index." -/ theorem geodesic_is_refractive (n : RefractiveIndex V) (h_phys : is_physical n) : ∀ (x v : V), lagrangian_geodesic n x v = lagrangian_optical n x v := by intros x v -- Unfold definitions unfold lagrangian_geodesic lagrangian_optical metric_tensor_isotropic -- 1.

We just formalize that the optical perspective is foundational, not just a calculation trick. 2. **Axiom Elimination**: We deleted the need to assume "Curvature" as a fundamental geometric property. Curved trajectories ($L_{geo}$) emerge entirely from scalar density gradients ($L_{opt}$). 3. **Universality**: The derivation above holds for ANY static isotropic metric. Schwarzschild? It's just $n(r)$. Lensing? Just $n(r)$. Gravity is reduced to analyzing the gradient $\nabla n$. -/ end QFD.Gravity.GeodesicEquivalence
