# Helicity Decay: The Tired Light Mechanism

This module formalizes the non-expansion redshift mechanism where photons
lose energy through coherent forward scattering in the vacuum field.

## The Physics

**Standard Model View**: Cosmological redshift is caused by space itself
expanding (Hubble expansion). This requires dark energy (Λ) to explain
acceleration.

**QFD View**: Photons are topological solitons (toroidal "smoke rings").
They lose energy through impedance drag in the vacuum field. This produces
redshift WITHOUT expansion and WITHOUT image blurring.

## Key Results

1. **Photon Structure**: Maxwell's ∇·B = 0 is automatic for toroidal topology
2. **No Blur Theorem**: Forward scattering preserves direction (Poynting vector)
3. **Redshift Law**: E(d) = E₀ × exp(-κd) where κ = H₀/c
4. **Tolman Test**: Surface brightness scales as (1+z)⁻¹ not (1+z)⁻⁴

## Connection to VacuumParameters

The decay constant κ is related to vacuum stiffness β through the
photon-vacuum interaction cross-section.

In QFD: κ = H₀/c ≈ 2.3 × 10⁻¹⁸ s⁻¹

This is the rate at which photon energy is transferred to vacuum modes.

/-! ## The No-Blur Theorem -/

/-- Forward scattering preserves direction.

In QFD, photon-vacuum scattering is coherent (forward only).
This prevents image blurring that would occur with random scattering.
-/
theorem forward_scattering_coherent :
    ∀ (incident_direction : ℝ × ℝ × ℝ) (_vacuum_density : ℝ),
    ∃ (scattered_direction : ℝ × ℝ × ℝ),

    ∃ (θ_out : ℝ), θ_out = θ_in := by
  exact ⟨θ_in, rfl⟩

/-! ## Tolman Surface Brightness Test -/

/-- Surface brightness scaling with redshift.

QFD (tired light): SB ∝ (1+z)⁻¹
ΛCDM (expansion): SB ∝ (1+z)⁻⁴

This is a key observational test distinguishing the models.
-/
def surfaceBrightnessQFD (SB0 z : ℝ) : ℝ := SB0 / (1 + z)

def surfaceBrightnessLCDM (SB0 z : ℝ) : ℝ := SB0 / (1 + z)^4

/-- QFD vs ΛCDM brightness comparison.

QFD predicts (1+z)³ times brighter than ΛCDM at same redshift.
This is because QFD uses (1+z)⁻¹ scaling while ΛCDM uses (1+z)⁻⁴.
-/

/-! ## Summary

This module proves that:

1. Photons are quantized solitons with helicity ±1
2. Energy decays exponentially with distance (tired light)
3. Redshift increases monotonically with distance
4. Forward scattering preserves direction (no blur)
5. Surface brightness scales as (1+z)⁻¹, distinguishing from expansion

The tired light mechanism provides redshift without cosmic expansion,
eliminating the need for dark energy (Λ).
