Example 38 — Grammar Energy Landscape
======================================
Maps the energy functional E through operator sequences, comparing
grammar-compliant vs grammar-violating paths.
Physics
-------
The Lyapunov function E = 0.5 * sum_i [Phi_s^2 + |grad_phi|^2 + K_phi^2
+ J_phi^2 + J_DNFR^2] must satisfy dE/dt <= 0 under grammar-compliant
evolution (Structural Conservation Theorem, Noether-like).
This experiment shows that:
- Grammar compliance (U1-U6) creates a monotone decreasing energy path
- Grammar violations allow energy to escape, breaking Lyapunov stability
- The Lyapunov bounds per operator (from lyapunov.py) predict the
contraction/expansion rate of each step
The energy landscape is the "potential surface" on which operator sequences
trace trajectories. U2 (convergence) ensures trajectories are bounded;
U4 (bifurcation) ensures controlled excursions; U1 (closure) ensures
the trajectory terminates at an attractor.

1. Grammar-Compliant Trajectories:
Sequences satisfying U1-U6 trace *bounded* paths in energy space.
The energy functional E acts as a Lyapunov function: dE/dt <= 0
for net grammar-compliant evolution.
2. Canonical Pattern Signatures:
Bootstrap: energy injection then stabilisation (net mild increase).
Stabilise: pure Lyapunov descent (guaranteed by IL contraction).
Explore: controlled excursion (OZ up, then IL brings E back down).
Propagate: redistribution without net energy change.
3. Lyapunov Bounds:
Theoretical per-operator bounds (from canonical constants, zero
empirical fitting) predict measured energy changes accurately.
This validates the operator energy classification in
STRUCTURAL_OPERATORS.md.
4. Grammar-Energy Correspondence:
Each grammar rule maps to a specific energy constraint:
U1 -> trajectory existence and termination
U2 -> Lyapunov boundedness (integral convergence)
U3 -> coupling energy conservation
U4 -> controlled excursion within handler bounds
U5 -> hierarchical energy additivity
U6 -> maximum energy density confinement (pi/2 bound)

Nodal Equation -> Grammar Rules -> Energy Bounds -> Tetrad Safety
