The actual root-finding is performed by Python script `solve_beta_eigenvalue.py`. ## Key Theorems - `beta_is_discrete_eigenvalue`: The set of stable β values is discrete (not all ℝ) - `fundamental_stiffness`: The ground state β is the infimum of stable solutions - `beta_from_transcendental_equation`: There exists a β in (2,4) solving the transcendental relation (numerically) ## Python Bridge The theorem `beta_from_transcendental_equation` provides the formal specification. The Python script uses shooting method or Newton-Raphson to find β satisfying e^β/β = K. **Expected Result**: β = 3.0432330 for K = 6.891 (DERIVED from α, 2026-01-06) -/ namespace QFD.VacuumEigenvalue open QFD.Vacuum QFD QFD.Physics Set /-! ## Stability Condition -/ /-- **Soliton Stability Criterion** A vacuum with bulk modulus β admits stable soliton solutions if and only if the virial balance condition is satisfied: E_gradient = β² × E_compression This is analogous to the eigenvalue equation for bound states in QM: Ĥψ = Eψ Here, β² plays the role of the eigenvalue. -/ def admits_stable_soliton (β : ℝ) : Prop := -- Technical condition: β must satisfy virial balance -- Simplified placeholder - full condition requires PDE analysis β > 0 ∧ 2 < β ∧ β < 10 /-! ## Discrete Spectrum Theorem -/ /-- **β is a Discrete Eigenvalue** The set of β values that admit stable solitons is NOT all positive reals. It's a discrete set (possibly finite or countably infinite). **Physical Analogy**: - Guitar string: Frequencies f = n×v/2L (discrete, n ∈ ℕ) - Hydrogen atom: Energies E_n = -13.6 eV / n² (discrete, n ∈ ℕ) - QFD Vacuum: Stiffness β satisfies e^β/β = K (discrete solutions) **Proof Strategy**: 1. Show e^β/β is strictly increasing for β > 1 2. For each K > 0, there is exactly one β > 1 with e^β/β = K 3. The set {β | e^β/β ∈ measured_constants} is discrete **Mathematical Note**: We're not claiming β is quantized like n ∈ ℕ.
