# Derivation Chain Overview
**Summary:** The transition sharpness $n \approx 1.24$ and the backbone dimension $d_B \approx 1.22$ are now **derived from first principles** by the Pure Axiom Substrate (`rst_axiom_pure.py`). This upgrades the [[The Sovereign Chain|Sovereign Chain]] from "empirically matched" to "derived." ($d_B = 1.22$ is the percolation **backbone** dimension; $D_f \approx 1.86$ is the macroscopic fractal dimension of 3D space.)
**Cosmology:** Big Bang = $p=1.0$ Complete Graph. Metric expansion = Landauer thermal pruning. Universe cools via relational density drop, freezing into $D=3$ fractal sponge.

| Stage | Input | Output |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Axioms** | RRT (Format, Resolution, Translation, Time, Relational Distance) | Meta-ontology |
| **Pure Axiom engine** | Hot genesis (p=1.0), local Shannon cost, Landauer prune | Final graph (relational cooling) |
| **Probe** | Sweep N₀, measure Energy Fidelity μ = Ω/W | n ≈ 1.24, d_B ≈ 1.22 |
| **Sovereign Chain** | n, D=3, d_s=4/3, d_B | 10 SM constants (< 0.07% error) |

## 2. The Pure Axiom Algorithm
The engine uses **zero structural parameters**. No μ, no L^n norm, no W in the micro-rules.
| Step | Rule | Axiom |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Genesis** | Hot: Erdos-Renyi p=1.0 (topological singularity). Cold: ring+extras | A1 |
| **Cost** | Local Shannon entropy: S = shared_neighbors+1; p_u = S/(k_u+1); Cost = -p_u log₂(p_u) | A2 |
| **Drive** | Add edges (topological random walk); age=0 exempt one cycle | A3, A4 |
| **Prune** | Landauer: remove high-cost edges; thermal fail p_fail = N₀/(N₀+1) | A2 |
| **Cooling** | N₀ = graph density (edges / max_edges) — Section VII relational cooling | A4 |
| **Probe** | Sweep N₀ logarithmically (0.01–10); μ = Ω/W (edges in LCC / total budget); fit Hill | Section III |
**Key corrections:**
- **Energy Fidelity:** μ = Ω/W (coherent edges in LCC), not node fraction. Gravity (n≈1.25) is a property of relational Energy — edges melt before nodes disconnect.
- **N₀-axis:** Probe sweeps thermodynamic noise N₀, not probability p_fail. Linear p_fail sweep compresses the S-curve and causes n=10 artifact.
- **d_B ≈ 1.22:** Percolation backbone dimension (Stauffer & Aharony) — confirms emergent 3D space.

|:---|:---|
| **Timeline** | axiom_pure_timeline.csv — edges, μ, d_B vs cycle |
| **MOND curve** | MOND_Transition_Curve.pdf/.png — μ vs N₀, Hill fit, residuals |
**Convergence (n stable across scale):**

| 4096 | 4096 | 500 | 1.2392 | ~3.6–3.8 | 0.65 |
The thermodynamic limit is reached: 4× scale change yields n within 0.0006.
