OCT Typed Formal Spec v0.1
Scope:fix a unified typed scheme for Coh, Phi, Delta, Omegacompatible with classical category theory and usable in OCT theorems.
1) Formal layers
The specification separates three layers:1. Syntactic: classical category.2. Ordering: consistency and validity thresholds.3. Emergent: emergent function and degeneration.
2) Typed basic data
Is:- O a locally small category.- Diag_fin(O) the class of finished diagrams in O.- ObsCtx a category (or preorder) of observational contexts.- Omega in Ob(ObsCtx) an observational context.
For each Omega we assign:
- Local consistency on morphisms-
coh_Omega^1 : Mor(O) -> [0,1] - Diagrammatic coherence-
Coh_Omega : Diag_fin(O) -> [0,1] - Emergent space-
E_Omega = (E_Omega, +, 0_E, <=_E)-E_Omegaand a preordained commutative monoid with null element0_E - Emergent function-
Phi_Omega : Diag_fin(O) -> E_Omega - Threshold of reality-
tau_Omega in (0,1] - Degeneration-
Delta_Omega : Diag_fin(O) -> [0,1]- defined byDelta_Omega(D) = 1 - Coh_Omega(D)
3) Fundamental predicates
3.1 OCT-valid morphism
For f in Mor(O):
OCTVal_Omega(f) := coh_Omega^1(f) >= tau_Omega
3.2 OCT-real diagram
For D in Diag_fin(O):
Real_Omega(D) := (Coh_Omega(D) >= tau_Omega) and (Phi_Omega(D) != 0_E)
3.3 OCT-degenerate diagram
Deg_Omega(D) := (D != vuoto) and (Phi_Omega(D) = 0_E)
4) Minimal typed axioms (TS1-TS8)
TS1 - Classic compatibility
The classic definitions of identity and composition in O remain unchanged.
TS2 - Consistency normalization
coh_Omega^1(f) in [0,1] and Coh_Omega(D) in [0,1].
TS3 - Identity coherence
For each A object:
coh_Omega^1(id_A) = 1.
TS4 - Local compositional stability
There exists a t-norm T : [0,1] x [0,1] -> [0,1] such that,for each composite pair f: A->B, g: B->C:
coh_Omega^1(g o f) >= T(coh_Omega^1(g), coh_Omega^1(f)).
TS5 - Local/global compatibility
For each finished diagram D:
Coh_Omega(D) <= inf { coh_Omega^1(f) : f e freccia di D }.
TS6 - Canonical emerging nullity
If D is empty or trivially devoid of dynamics, thenPhi_Omega(D) = 0_E.
TS7 - Strong anti-degeneration
If Real_Omega(D) then Deg_Omega(D) is false.
TS8 - Observational reindexing
For each context morphism u: Omega -> Omega' in ObsCtx,There are transport maps:- R_u^Coh : [0,1] -> [0,1]- R_u^Phi : E_Omega -> E_Omega'
with compatibility:- Coh_Omega'(D) = R_u^Coh(Coh_Omega(D))- Phi_Omega'(D) = R_u^Phi(Phi_Omega(D))
in a declared regime (exact or approximate with controlled error).
5) Immediate consequences
- F03 and well typed via TS4.2. F08 and well-typed via
0_EandReal_Omega.3. F10 and can be formalized by imposing limit regime:-coh_Omega^1 = 1,-Coh_Omega = 1,-Phifilter disabled.
6) Choices open for v0.2 of the specification
- explicit choice of the t-norm
T(min, product, Lukasiewicz, other).2. choice of spaceE_Omega(ordered monoid vs semiring vs lattice).3. threshold policytau_Omega(fixed, adaptive, domain dependent).4. formalization of transport error between contexts (epsilon-consistency).
7) Criterion for adoption in the work
The specification is considered adopted when:1. all foundation theorems use the same typed signatures;2. untyped uses of Phi, Coh, Omega no longer appear;3. the empirical protocol (Volume IV) uses these same quantities without redefinitions.
