#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Computation 101 -- Bridge Premise (B) attack: is Z^2 a wave-function renormalisation rather than a coupling renormalisation? ========================================================================= Open-research item 1.1 (peer-review v25.34). Bridge premise (B) is the multiplicative matching identity lambda_SM(M_*) = b * Z_H(beta_KO) (B) The peer reviewer's Finding 2b: standard Wilsonian threshold matching of a quartic is *additive* in the loop corrections (lambda_IR = lambda_UV + finite matching), not a multiplicative dressing by a Boltzmann factor. So (B) is a structural hypothesis rather than a consequence of standard Wilsonian RG. Comp 101 attacks this from a new angle: is Z^2 actually a wave-function (field-strength) renormalisation rather than a coupling renormalisation? Wave-function renormalisation IS multiplicative. If Z^2 in PST corresponds to Z_phi^2 (the substrate's modal field rescaled to the SM Higgs at M_*), then the multiplicative matching form (B) is automatic from standard renormalisation rather than a separate structural hypothesis -- closing the open question. THE STANDARD-QFT DECOMPOSITION ============================== In standard QFT, the renormalised quartic coupling decomposes as: lambda_R = Z_lambda * lambda_B Z_lambda = Z_Gamma4 / Z_phi^2 where: Z_Gamma4 = vertex renormalisation (4-point function) Z_phi = wave-function renormalisation (2-point function) So: lambda_R = (Z_Gamma4 / Z_phi^2) * lambda_B The ratio Z^2 = lambda_R/lambda_B = Z_Gamma4 / Z_phi^2. If Z^2 = Z_phi^2 (i.e., Z_Gamma4 = 1, no vertex renormalisation), then: Z^2 = wave-function renormalisation squared Z = (e^(-1))^(1/2) = e^(-1/2) phi_R = Z * phi_B, lambda_R = Z^2 * lambda_B (multiplicative, automatic) Conversely, if Z^2 = 1/Z_Gamma4 (i.e., Z_phi^2 = 1, no wave-function renormalisation), then Z^2 is pure vertex renormalisation -- a different physical content. THE PST PROJECTION CHAIN ======================== PST's matched-scaling map Pi: substrate -> SM at scale M_* identifies: - Substrate modal field psi : P(D) -> R at scale Lambda = sqrt(D) - SM Higgs field phi : M -> R at scale M_* with the field identification phi = Pi(psi) (paper Eq sec:mstar). QUESTION: under Pi, is there a natural wave-function renormalisation? The matched-scaling map Pi is the binomial-Gaussian CLT projection (Comp 73): substrate Bernoulli measure mu maps to SM-side Gaussian measure at matched scaling. Under this map: ||psi||^2_{L^2(P(D), mu)} --> ||phi||^2_{L^2(M, d^4 x)} with a specific Jacobian factor. If this Jacobian factor IS Z_phi^2 in the standard renormalisation sense, then Z^2 = e^(-1) is the wave-function renormalisation between substrate and SM at M_*, and the multiplicative matching form (B) is automatic. INVESTIGATION: THE PARTITION-FUNCTION AS PATH-INTEGRAL JACOBIAN ================================================================ Consider the substrate path integral over modal fields psi: P(D) -> R weighted by the Bernoulli measure mu on the domain: Z_substrate = integral D psi exp(-S_substrate[psi]) The action S_substrate includes the LG quartic b * psi^4 at threshold, integrated over configurations C in P(D) weighted by mu. Under the matched-scaling Pi: substrate -> SM, change variables psi(C) -> phi(x) where x in M. The Jacobian of this map: D psi = J(Pi) * D phi determines the field-renormalisation factor. If J(Pi) = exp(-beta_KO * H_Higgs(C)) (the Boltzmann weight at the substrate's KO-tempered Hamiltonian, Comp 89), then: D psi = exp(-beta_KO * X_bar) * D phi and under matched-scaling Lambda^2 = D, the path-integral Jacobian at matched cutoff is: E_mu[J(Pi)] = E_mu[exp(-beta_KO * X_bar)] = Z_H(beta_KO) -> e^(-1) This IS the structural argument for (B) reinterpreted as field-strength renormalisation: - The substrate-side partition function Z_H(beta_KO) is the Jacobian of the matched-scaling map Pi as a path-integral change of variable. - At matched scaling, the Jacobian factor equals e^(-1). - This factor renormalises the modal field psi to the SM Higgs phi multiplicatively (standard wave-function renormalisation). - The quartic coupling inherits the multiplicative Z^2 factor by standard Z_Gamma4/Z_phi^2 = Z^2 with Z_phi^2 = Z_H, Z_Gamma4 = 1. WHAT THIS CLOSES AND WHAT IT DOESN'T ===================================== If the Jacobian-interpretation is correct: - Bridge premise (B) is REDUCED to two well-posed structural questions: (1) Is the matched-scaling Pi a wave-function renormalisation in the standard sense? I.e., is the change-of-variable D psi = J * D phi at matched scaling Lambda^2 = D such that J -> Z_H(beta_KO) asymptotically? (2) Why does the vertex renormalisation vanish (Z_Gamma4 = 1) for the matched-scaling Pi? - (1) is a question about Pi's structural properties. In Comp 73, Pi is shown to deliver the binomial-Gaussian CLT normalisation for the Casimir kernel (xi = 90/pi^2). An analogous derivation for the path-integral Jacobian would close (1). - (2) is a question about the matched-scaling preserving the vertex structure. Standard CC has Z_Gamma4 = 1 at tree level; PST inherits this if the matched-scaling map preserves tree-level vertices. These are sharper, more tractable questions than the original "why multiplicative matching". If correct, bridge premise (B) reduces from "structural hypothesis at partition-function-CC level" to "the matched-scaling Pi is a wave-function renormalisation with Jacobian Z_H(beta_KO) and trivial vertex renormalisation." PARTIAL VERIFICATION (NUMERICAL) ================================== Under the wave-function-renormalisation interpretation: Z_phi^2 = e^(-1) at matched scaling Z_phi = e^(-1/2) ~ 0.6065 The renormalised quartic: lambda_R = Z_phi^2 * lambda_B = e^(-1) * (1/4) = 0.0920 Empirical lambda_SM(M_*) ~ 0.0927 (Buttazzo 2013). Match: 0.79% (full Buttazzo-level RGE, Comp 91), 5-7% at one-loop. This is consistent with the wave-function renormalisation interpretation: the e^(-1) factor is the squared field rescaling between substrate (psi) and SM (phi) at matched scaling, and the quartic coupling inherits the standard Z_phi^2 multiplicative correction. STATUS OF (B) AFTER COMP 101 ============================== Before Comp 101: (B) was framed as "multiplicative matching, non-standard for Wilsonian threshold matching, structural hypothesis." The peer reviewer correctly identified this as the open foundational step. After Comp 101: (B) is REINTERPRETED as wave-function renormalisation of the substrate modal field psi to SM Higgs phi at matched scaling. This reduces the open content to two well-posed structural questions: (1) Is matched-scaling Pi a wave-function renormalisation with Jacobian Z_H(beta_KO)? (2) Why Z_Gamma4 = 1 (no vertex renormalisation)? These are sharper and more tractable than the original open question. Closing (1) and (2) would deliver bridge premise (B) automatically via standard renormalisation: lambda_R = (Z_Gamma4 / Z_phi^2) * lambda_B, with Z_Gamma4 = 1 and Z_phi^2 = e^(-1) gives lambda_R = b * e^(-1) directly. Comp 101 status: structural reduction of the open content of bridge premise (B) to two well-posed sub-questions about the matched-scaling map Pi's renormalisation properties. RESEARCH DIRECTION FOR CLOSING (1) and (2) ============================================ For (1): extend Comp 73's matched-scaling analysis from the Casimir kernel (xi = 90/pi^2) to the path-integral Jacobian. Specifically: - Compute the path-integral change-of-variable Jacobian explicitly for the matched-scaling Pi: substrate -> SM - Show it equals exp(-beta_KO * H_Higgs(C)) on substrate configurations - In the asymptotic D -> infinity limit, the ยต-expectation gives Z_H(beta_KO) -> e^(-1) For (2): show that the matched-scaling Pi preserves tree-level vertex structure. Standard CC-style spectral action's vertex contributions arise from inner-fluctuation Yang-Mills sector, not from the matched-scaling map itself. PST inherits Z_Gamma4 = 1 if the matched-scaling Pi is purely a field redefinition (no vertex correction). These are the active v25.34+ research directions for closing bridge premise (B).
