Theoretical Foundation: This chamber explores multi-field recursive coupling through operator differentials:
Rij(x,y) = Oi(τi)(x,y) − Oj(τj)(x,y)
// Operator differential: Each operator acts on its own field
Total Curvature: ℰ = ⟨∑i<j ||Rij||²⟩ / (grid size)
The recursive tensor Rij measures operator differential between τ-fields: the difference between operator Oi acting on its field τi versus operator Oj acting on its field τj. This differential creates a curvature energy density distributed across the grid. Physically, ℰ quantifies the "mismatch" between recursive operation channels—analogous to gauge field strength in electromagnetism.
The tensor Rij can be interpreted as a recursive electromagnetic analog: in UNNS–Maxwell unification (Phase F), Rij components will map to electric (E) and magnetic (B) field tensors. This chamber establishes the computational substrate for testing whether recursive τ-dynamics spontaneously generate electromagnetic-like behaviors without imposing Maxwell's equations externally.
The current engine computes operator-differential form: Rij = Oi(τi) − Oj(τj). This differs from the theoretical cross-field form Rij = Oi(τj) − Oj(τi) planned for Phase F. The operator-differential provides a stable diagnostic of recursive channel mismatch suitable as a substrate for later differential-geometric formulations.
τ₁ — Base Recursion Field: The "ground state" τ-field evolving under standard nearest-neighbor coupling. Acts as the reference frame for all recursive operations.
τ₂ — Scaled Φ-Field (Operator XIV): When configured with μ ≈ φ (golden ratio), τ₂ becomes a scale-symmetric twin of τ₁. The tensor R12 captures phase coherence across scales—detecting whether φ-resonance emerges from recursive dynamics.
τ₃ — Dispersive Prism Field (Operator XV): With β > 0, τ₃ introduces Laplacian-driven dispersion. The triple-field configuration (τ₁, τ₂, τ₃) forms a complete basis for testing recursive closure conditions and harmonic resonances (γ★ ≈ 3φ).
Current Implementation: The engine computes both Rij and Rji independently for diagnostic purposes. True antisymmetry (Rij = −Rji) would require cross-field operator application (Oi acting on τj), planned for Phase F extension. The current operator-differential form provides stable multi-field diagnostics suitable for equilibrium analysis and curvature tracking.
The table below shows typical performance measured on reference hardware (Intel i7-11700K, 32GB RAM, Chrome 119). Actual performance varies by system—expect ±30% depending on CPU, browser, and background load:
| Grid Size | n=2 (ms/step) | n=3 (ms/step) | RAM Usage | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 64×64 | 1.2 | 2.1 | ~15 MB | Quick validation, interactive demos |
| 128×128 | 3.5 | 6.8 | ~40 MB | Standard research runs, reproducibility tests |
| 256×256 | 18.5 | 31.2 | ~160 MB | High-resolution analysis, Phase E validation |
| 512×512 | 67 | 118 | ~640 MB | Publication-grade, spectral analysis prep |
Note: 512² grids require ~2GB total browser memory (includes rendering buffers). "~60fps GPU-assisted" refers to typical Canvas rendering with hardware acceleration enabled; actual frame rates vary by GPU and browser. Monitor Task Manager/Activity Monitor during ultra runs.
| Metric | Physical Interpretation | Typical Values & Significance |
|---|---|---|
| ℰ (Total Curvature) | Per-cell average of squared tensor norms; measures total recursive energy density | Standard: 0.01–0.5 | Antisymmetric: 10³–10¹⁴ (expected for γ ≈ −1) |
| ℰeq | Equilibrium value (25-step moving average); target for convergence | Should stabilize within 1% of ℰ after ~300–500 steps |
| Energy Gradient | Rate of change |dℰ/dt|; detects dynamic vs. equilibrated states | < 10⁻⁶ indicates equilibrium | > 10⁻³ suggests active transients |
| γ★ (Resonance) | Dominant coupling resonance; clamped to [0.05, 3φ] for stability | φ ≈ 1.618: golden ratio | 3φ ≈ 4.854: triple harmonic (n=3 systems) |
| Rij RMS | Root-mean-square of tensor components; local fluctuation norm | Measures "typical magnitude" of Rij across grid; √(ℰ) scaled by pair count |
Key Insight: energy_gradient (new in v19.1.0) is the most reliable equilibrium indicator. When energy_gradient < 10⁻⁶ AND CV < 0.02, the system has reached a stable attractor state—even if ℰ appears large (e.g., in operator-differential configurations with mismatched coupling modes).
Enhanced multi-criteria detection (25-step sliding window):
| Operator | Coupling Type | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Nearest-neighbor | λ only |
| XIV (Φ-Scale) | Scale-symmetric | λ, μ |
| XV (Φ-Prism) | Dispersive | λ, β |
Chamber XX: Recursive Tensor Potential Explorer
Building on Chamber XIX's operator-differential foundation, Chamber XX will implement the cross-field tensor form Rij = Oi(τj) − Oj(τi) with true antisymmetry (Rij = −Rji). This enables computation of the divergence field:
Φij = ∇·Rij
This "recursive tensor potential" quantifies source terms—locations where Rij flux diverges, indicating energy injection or dissipation. Physically, Φij maps to charge density (ρ) and current density (J) in electromagnetic analogy.
Spectral Analysis Pipeline:
Chamber XX will include FFT-based harmonic detection to identify resonant modes in Rij(t) time series. Expected signatures:
UNNS–Maxwell Bridge Validation:
Chamber XX will implement direct comparison with Maxwell tensor Fμν to test whether Rij reproduces electromagnetic field equations without explicitly encoding them. This forms the central falsification test for UNNS recursive field theory.
Current Status: Chamber XIX v19.1.1 provides the validated operator-differential computational substrate for Phase F development. The discrete tensor diagnostic (Rij = Oi(τi) − Oj(τj)) establishes equilibrium detection, curvature tracking, and JSON export infrastructure ready for extension to cross-field tensors, divergence fields, and spectral analyzers in Chamber XX.
