#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ MFT F(φ) DERIVATION: EXTENDED SYMMETRIC BACK-REACTION THEOREM ================================================================ Derives the non-minimal gravitational coupling F(φ) from the requirement that the back-reaction is symmetric at both critical points when the full φ-dependent F(φ) is included. ARGUMENT: The Symmetric Back-Reaction Theorem (Paper 2) derives λ₄² = 8m₂λ₆ from: Σ(φ_b) = Σ(φ_v) where Σ(φ_c) = V(φ_c)/V''(φ_c) = -1/12 This assumed F'(φ) = const (linear coupling). When F(φ) is nonlinear, the back-reaction at critical point φ_c involves the local coupling strength F'(φ_c)/F(φ_c) = d(ln F)/dφ |_{φ_c}. The EXTENDED symmetric back-reaction condition requires: d(ln F)/dφ |_{φ_b} = d(ln F)/dφ |_{φ_v} The UNIQUE function satisfying d(ln F)/dφ = const EVERYWHERE is: F(φ) = F₀ exp(β φ) Physical interpretation: the equivalence principle in MFT. The gravitational coupling responds uniformly to contraction at all amplitudes (logarithmically measured). TESTS: 1. Verify the extended SBR condition at both critical points 2. Show that polynomial F requires fine-tuning to satisfy the condition 3. Show that exp(βφ) satisfies it trivially 4. Verify that exp(βφ) ≈ 1+βφ to O(β²) ≈ 10⁻⁸ (current linear regime) 5. Compute ω_BD for the exponential coupling 6. Check neutrino mass formula compatibility 7.

The logarithmic coupling d(ln F)/dφ = β is CONSTANT. Gravity couples to contraction with the same strength at all contraction amplitudes. This is the MFT equivalence principle: the medium responds to curvature uniformly, regardless of its local state of compression. 2. In the Einstein frame (conformal transformation ĝ = F/F₀ × g): F exp(βφ) → the scalar has a canonical kinetic term with an exponential potential. This is the universal attractor form of scalar-tensor gravity (Damour & Polyakov 1994). 3. The linear approximation F ≈ F₀(1 + βφ) is the leading Taylor term. Since β ≈ 10⁻⁴ and φ ≤ 2 (microphysics) or φ ≤ 2000 (galactic, but with βφ ≤ 0.2), the linear form is excellent everywhere in the current MFT programme. 4. The exponential form PREDICTS: at extreme contraction (black hole interiors, very early universe), the gravitational coupling grows exponentially. This provides a natural mechanism for singularity resolution: as φ → large, F → large, and G_eff = 1/(16πF) → 0. Gravity WEAKENS at extreme contraction.
