Mathematically, this lives in ℤ (integers). Physics: The winding number of the map S³ → S³. -/ abbrev TopologicalCharge := ℤ /-- AXIOM: Topological charge conservation. **Physical justification**: Topological charge B is the homotopy class [S³ → S³], which is an element of π₃(S³) ≅ ℤ. Continuous time evolution cannot change the homotopy class without passing through a singularity (catastrophic break). **Mathematical status**: This is equivalent to saying that continuous maps from connected spaces to discrete spaces are locally constant. While provable in Mathlib, the infrastructure for discrete topology on ℤ and connectedness theorems is substantial. We axiomatize this standard topological fact. **Elimination path**: Proven using Mathlib's `IsPreconnected.constant`. -/ theorem topological_conservation (time_domain : Set ℝ) (is_connected : IsConnected time_domain) (state_evolution : C(time_domain, ℤ)) : ∀ t1 t2 : time_domain, state_evolution t1 = state_evolution t2 := by intro t1 t2 -- The subtype of a connected set is a connected space haveI : ConnectedSpace time_domain := Subtype.connectedSpace is_connected -- ℤ has DiscreteTopology, so continuous maps from connected spaces are constant exact PreconnectedSpace.constant (ConnectedSpace.toPreconnectedSpace) state_evolution.continuous -- ============================================================================== -- PART 2: THE ENERGY LANDSCAPE (The Physics) -- ============================================================================== /-- Structure representing a localized QFD Soliton (Nucleon).

Surface area grows slower than volume (A^(2/3) vs A), making fusion energetically favorable. **Proof strategy**: For strictly concave f with f(0) = 0, the slope f(x)/x is strictly decreasing. Using `StrictConcaveOn.slope_anti_adjacent` from Mathlib: - Slopes from 0 decrease: f(x)/x > f(x+y)/(x+y) and f(y)/y > f(x+y)/(x+y) - Multiplying and adding gives: f(x) + f(y) > f(x+y) -/ theorem pow_two_thirds_subadditive {x y : ℝ} (hx : 0 < x) (hy : 0 < y) : (x + y) ^ (2/3 : ℝ) < x ^ (2/3 : ℝ) + y ^ (2/3 : ℝ) := by -- Use centralized axiom for strict sub-additivity of fractional powers have hp_pos : 0 < (2/3 : ℝ) := by norm_num have hp_lt_one : (2/3 : ℝ) < 1 := by norm_num exact QFD.Physics.rpow_strict_subadd x y (2/3 : ℝ) hx hy hp_pos hp_lt_one /-- MAIN THEOREM: Surface Tension Prevents Fission.
