Golden units for Kimberling row intersections

Abstract

Golden integer units have signed integral powers and an oriented small-unit description.

Definition 1.1 (Golden power rows).

Formalization. D5/S1/Recurrence/KimberlingArrayRowPairs.row (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Row i consists of the natural floors of positive integral multiples of the ith golden power.

Definition 1.2 (Lucas trace).

Formalization. D5/S1/Recurrence/KimberlingArrayRowPairs.lucas (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The natural Lucas number is the nonnegative integral trace of the nth golden power. Its initial values are two and one.

Theorem 1.3 (Integral unit powers).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Recurrence/KimberlingArrayRowPairs.embedding_phiUnit_zpow (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The distinguished unit evaluates to the golden ratio for all integral exponents.

Theorem 1.4 (Inverse powers).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Recurrence/KimberlingArrayRowPairs.phiUnit_neg_nat (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Inverse powers have the signed conjugate coordinates.

Theorem 1.5 (Orientation of small units).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Recurrence/KimberlingArrayRowPairs.golden_small_unit (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

A negative golden coefficient fixes the orientation of a sufficiently small unit to the conjugate of a positive power.
