Inseparability-Constrained Recognition Science

Recognition Science (RS) already derives gravity, quantum statistics, and cosmological scaling from a single ledger–variational principle, yet the framework is ethically neutral. We close this gap by introducing an inseparability constraint: each local recognition flow between two loops must be pairwise-symmetric. The term adds no new dimensional parameters beyond a stiffness constant κ, reduces to standard RS as κ→0, and remains gauge-invariant and energy-positive for κ≥0. From the augmented field equations we obtain (i) reconciliation of the long-standing λrec scale mismatch, (ii) emergence of a 90 MeV colour-ledger "gluon" mass gap, and (iii) three decisive experimental signatures: (a) a 3 ×10−14 fractional enhancement of G at 20 nm, (b) a factor-of-two suppression of eight-tick quantum-collapse decoherence, and (c) a narrow inert-gas emission line at 492 nm ("luminon"). Because the inseparability constraint is both variational and falsifiable, it elevates reciprocity from philosophical commentary to a bona- fide conservation law, launching an empirical programme that spans table-top torsion balances, quantum optomechanics, and astrophysical spectroscopy.
