SCRIPT: MFT SYMMETRIC BACK-REACTION THEOREM
===========================================
Reproduces and numerically verifies the derivation of λ₄/λ₆ = 4 in
Monistic Field Theory from the Symmetric Back-Reaction Theorem.

The theorem states: in the MFT coupled scalar–metric field equations, the
back-reaction amplitude Σ(φ_c) = V(φ_c)/V″(φ_c) is equal at both non-trivial
critical points (barrier φ_b and nonlinear vacuum φ_v) if and only if

    λ₄² = 8 m₂ λ₆   ←→   λ₄/λ₆ = 4  (in normalised units)

The silver ratio δ = 1+√2 is the unique fixed point of the back-reaction
iteration r → 2 + 1/r acting on the vacuum/barrier field ratio r = φ_v/φ_b.

EXECUTION
---------
  Dependencies:
    pip install numpy scipy matplotlib

  Run:
    python3 mft_lambda_ratio_derivation.py

  Expected runtime: ~20–40 seconds (all-analytic + lightweight numerics)

  Outputs:
    Console — five verification tables + VERDICT
    File    — mft_lambda_ratio_derivation.png  (4-panel figure)

THE FIVE VERIFICATION STEPS
-----------------------------
  1. SIGMA SCAN        Σ(φ_b) and Σ(φ_v) vs the ratio ρ = λ₄²/(m₂λ₆).
                       Shows they are equal only at ρ = 8 (λ₄/λ₆ = 4).

  2. ALGEBRAIC PROOF   Reproduces the t-variable algebra step by step.
                       Confirms t_b · t_v = 1/8 ↔ λ₄² = 8m₂λ₆.

  3. ITERATION MAP     The map r → 2 + 1/r converged to δ = 1+√2 from
                       fourteen different starting values, including
                       extremes and the Pell-number sequence.

  4. SILVER RATIO      All four geometric manifestations computed exactly
                       and verified against the normalised potential.

  5. POTENTIAL SCAN    Numerically confirms that at λ₄/λ₆ = 4 the
                       double-well structure is symmetric under back-reaction
                       across a range of (m₂, λ₄, λ₆) triples.

KEY RESULT:
  The condition λ₄² = 8m₂λ₆ is the unique solution to the simultaneous
  self-consistency of both critical points under metric back-reaction.
  In the normalised MFT potential (m₂=1, λ₄=2, λ₆=0.5):

    Σ(φ_b) = Σ(φ_v) = −1/12 = −0.083333...

  The silver ratio δ = 1+√2 ≈ 2.41421 appears in four independent
  geometric ratios of the elastic medium, all as integer powers of δ.
