T0-10: Entropy Capacity Scaling Theory
Core Axiom
From self-referential completeness: Systems with N components exhibit non-linear capacity scaling due to interaction-induced entropy production.
1. Foundation from Previous Theories
1.1 Component Capacity Basis (from T0-2)
Single component entropy bucket:
In Zeckendorf representation:
- Component state: 10101000...
- Maximum capacity follows Fibonacci sequence
- No consecutive 1s constraint
1.2 Interaction Framework (from T0-6)
Component coupling matrix:
Interaction entropy:
1.3 Fibonacci Constraints (from T0-7)
System evolution follows: This imposes scaling constraint:
2. Scaling Law Derivation
2.1 Non-Interacting Limit
For N independent components:
Linear scaling with α₀ = 1.
2.2 Weak Coupling Regime
First-order interaction correction:
Where:
- ε = coupling strength
- γ = interaction decay exponent
2.3 Strong Coupling Regime
Full interaction consideration:
Theorem 10.1 (Scaling Exponent): The scaling exponent α satisfies:
Where δ accounts for higher-order corrections.
Proof:
- From T0-6, pairwise interactions scale as ~N²
- From T0-7, Fibonacci constraint limits growth to φ
- Balance yields: N² growth / φ constraint = N^(2-log_N(φ))
- For large N: α → 1 - 1/φ ≈ 1 - 0.618 = 0.382
- With entropy production: α_effective = 1 - 1/φ + δ(N)

Critical value:
4.2 Scaling Regimes
Three distinct regimes:
- Sub-critical (β < βc): α ≈ 1 (quasi-linear)
- Critical (β = βc): α = 1 - 1/φ (golden scaling)
- Super-critical (β > βc): α < 1 - 1/φ (sub-linear)
4.3 Universality Class
The scaling belongs to the Fibonacci universality class:
- Critical exponents related by φ
- Scaling functions contain Fibonacci numbers

10. Mathematical Proofs
10.1 Scaling Exponent Derivation
Detailed Proof of α = 1 - 1/φ + δ:
Starting from N components with Fibonacci constraints:
- Single component: C₁ = Fₖ
- Two components: C₂ = 2Fₖ - ΔF (interaction loss)
- Interaction loss: ΔF = Fₖ/φ (golden ratio constraint)
- General N: loss ~ N(N-1)/2 × 1/φ
- Effective scaling: N - N²/(2φN) = N^(1-1/(2φ))
- Large N limit: α → 1 - 1/φ
10.2 Universality Proof
RG Flow Analysis:
- Define scaling transformation: R[C(N)] = b^α C(N/b)
- Fixed point condition: R[C*] = C*
- Linearization yields α = 1 - 1/φ
- Basin of attraction includes all Fibonacci-constrained systems
10.3 Stability Theorem
Lyapunov Analysis: V(C) = (C - C*)² / 2C* dV/dt < 0 for all perturbations Therefore scaling law is asymptotically stable.

This represents:
- Sub-linear growth due to interaction constraints
- Logarithmic information corrections
- Universal behavior in Fibonacci class
12.2 Key Results
- Primary scaling: α ≈ 0.382 (exactly 1 - 1/φ in thermodynamic limit)
- Log correction: β = 1/2 (information theoretic)
- Critical point: βc = log φ
- Universality: All Fibonacci-constrained systems
12.3 Fundamental Insight
The golden ratio φ emerges as the fundamental scaling constraint, limiting capacity growth while maintaining system coherence. This creates a universal scaling law that bridges microscopic Fibonacci constraints with macroscopic capacity behavior.
The Scaling Echo: N components resonate not as N independent entities, but as N^(1-1/φ) - a chorus whose harmony is constrained by the golden ratio itself. In this scaling, we find the universe's preference for sustainable growth over unbounded expansion.
