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:

  1. From T0-6, pairwise interactions scale as ~N²
  2. From T0-7, Fibonacci constraint limits growth to φ
  3. Balance yields: N² growth / φ constraint = N^(2-log_N(φ))
  4. For large N: α → 1 - 1/φ ≈ 1 - 0.618 = 0.382
  5. With entropy production: α_effective = 1 - 1/φ + δ(N)

3. Mathematical Framework

3.1 Master Scaling Equation

Where:

  • α = 1 - 1/φ + δ ≈ 0.382 + δ
  • a₁ = 1/2 (information theoretic correction)
  • aₙ = (-1)ⁿ/n! (alternating series)

3.2 Dimensional Dependence

Scaling in d dimensions:

3.3 Finite Size Effects

For finite N:

Where ν = 1/(d-1) is the correlation length exponent.

4. Phase Transitions in Scaling

4.1 Critical Point

At critical coupling strength βc:

Critical value:

4.2 Scaling Regimes

Three distinct regimes:

  1. Sub-critical (β < βc): α ≈ 1 (quasi-linear)
  2. Critical (β = βc): α = 1 - 1/φ (golden scaling)
  3. 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
  • Renormalization flow preserves golden ratio

5. Corrections and Refinements

5.1 Logarithmic Corrections

Full expression with log corrections:

With β = 1/2 from information theory.

5.2 Non-Linear Interactions

Three-body and higher corrections:

Where τ = 1/φ² ≈ 0.382.

5.3 Quantum Corrections

At quantum scale:

6. Stability Analysis

6.1 Perturbation Response

Under small perturbation δN:

System is stable for α < 1.

6.2 Scaling Law Robustness

Theorem 10.2: The scaling exponent α is invariant under:

  1. Local perturbations
  2. Boundary condition changes
  3. Weak disorder

Proof: Follows from renormalization group fixed point stability.

6.3 Asymptotic Behavior

Confirms α as true scaling dimension.

7. Experimental Predictions

7.1 Observable Signatures

Measurable quantities:

  1. Capacity ratio: C(2N)/C(N) = 2^α
  2. Fluctuation scaling: σ²(C) ~ N^(2α-1)
  3. Correlation length: ξ ~ N^(1/ν)

7.2 System Size Dependencies

Crossover scales:

  • N* ~ φ^k: Fibonacci scaling emerges
  • Nc ~ exp(1/ε): Critical regime
  • N∞ ~ 1/ε²: Asymptotic limit

7.3 Universal Scaling Function

Data collapse:

Where F is universal scaling function.

10. Mathematical Proofs

10.1 Scaling Exponent Derivation

Detailed Proof of α = 1 - 1/φ + δ:

Starting from N components with Fibonacci constraints:

  1. Single component: C₁ = Fₖ
  2. Two components: C₂ = 2Fₖ - ΔF (interaction loss)
  3. Interaction loss: ΔF = Fₖ/φ (golden ratio constraint)
  4. General N: loss ~ N(N-1)/2 × 1/φ
  5. Effective scaling: N - N²/(2φN) = N^(1-1/(2φ))
  6. Large N limit: α → 1 - 1/φ

10.2 Universality Proof

RG Flow Analysis:

  1. Define scaling transformation: R[C(N)] = b^α C(N/b)
  2. Fixed point condition: R[C*] = C*
  3. Linearization yields α = 1 - 1/φ
  4. 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.

11. Numerical Validation

11.1 Exact Results

For small N:

  • N=1: C(1) = F₅ = 5
  • N=2: C(2) = 2^0.382 × 5 ≈ 6.48
  • N=3: C(3) = 3^0.382 × 5 ≈ 7.58
  • N=5: C(5) = 5^0.382 × 5 ≈ 9.51
  • N=8: C(8) = 8^0.382 × 5 ≈ 11.46

11.2 Asymptotic Convergence

log C(N) / log N → 0.382 as N → ∞ Convergence rate: ~1/log N

12. Synthesis and Conclusions

12.1 Complete Scaling Theory

The entropy capacity of N-component systems follows:

This represents:

  1. Sub-linear growth due to interaction constraints
  2. Logarithmic information corrections
  3. 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.
