/- IntegerBridge.lean ------------------ Formal verification that integer ratios like 5/7 arise as Diophantine approximations to irrational geometric constants like 1/√2. This supports Section 10 of "The Geometry of Necessity" and demonstrates why "strange" fractions appear in fundamental physics: they are the rational locks that allow irrational geometry to close into stable loops. Key Result: The continued fraction convergents of √2 include 7/5, making 5/7 a natural approximant for 1/√2 ≈ 0.7071. -/ import Mathlib.Data.Real.Basic import Mathlib.Data.Real.Sqrt import Mathlib.Tactic.Ring import Mathlib.Tactic.Linarith import Mathlib.Tactic.Positivity namespace QFD.Topology.IntegerBridge open Real noncomputable section /-! ## 1. THE GEOMETRIC CONSTANT: 1/√2 In Cl(3,3), the diagonal of a unit cell relates to its side by √2.

CONTINUED FRACTION CONVERGENTS OF √2 The continued fraction of √2 is [1; 2, 2, 2, ...]. Its convergents are: 1/1, 3/2, 7/5, 17/12, 41/29, ...

THE PHYSICAL INTERPRETATION Why 5/7 and not some other fraction? 1. Geometry wants 1/√2 (diagonal ratio) 2. Waves need integers (standing wave nodes) 3. 5/7 is the simplest rational that: - Approximates 1/√2 within ~1% - Has small numerator and denominator (low energy) - Arises from the continued fraction (stable) -/ /-- 5 and 7 are coprime -/ theorem five_seven_coprime : Nat.Coprime 5 7 := by decide /-- The approximation is good (within 1%) -/ theorem approx_quality : (5 : ℝ) / 7 > 0.71 ∧ (5 : ℝ) / 7 < 0.72 := by constructor <;> norm_num /-! ## 5.
