Golden Modular Metric Criterion

Abstract

The golden modular flow reaches its positive-metric unitary boundary exactly at zero horizontal drift.

Theorem 1.1 (Positive metric realization is equivalent to zero modular drift).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/Algebra/GoldenModularMetricCriterion.golden_modular_metric_criterion (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The source matrix is constructed in its two-dimensional eigenbasis from arbitrary real drift and phase and the fixed golden logarithmic period.

Zero drift, unit norm of every spectral value, preservation of a positive definite Hermitian metric, and vanishing normalized trace defect are equivalent.

At nonzero drift, a zero of the completed reading retains its canonical same-height reflected zero, while no positive definite invariant metric exists.
