03 — Renzo’s Rule from the Kuramoto Self-Consistency Equation#
This notebook demonstrates numerically that:
Forward: Localized baryonic features produce localized rotation curve features
Inverse: The synchronization deficit (dark matter phantom) cannot produce sharp features
Transition: The proslambenomenos frequency sets the MOND boundary
Stdlib Python only. Companion to renzos_rule_from_kuramoto.md.

The MOND transition: where \(K_{\text{eff}} = K_c\)#
The transition occurs at the radius where \(a(R) = a_0\), i.e., \(K_{\text{eff}}/K_c = 1\). This is the Kuramoto critical coupling threshold — not set by hand, but derived from the proslambenomenos frequency.
The interpolation function \(\mu(x) = 1 - 1/x\) with \(x = a/a_0 = K_{\text{eff}}/K_c\) follows directly from the Ott–Antonsen fixed point \(r^* = \sqrt{1 - K_c/K}\).

Summary#
Test |
Result |
|---|---|
Forward Renzo’s Rule |
Baryonic bump at \(R_0\) → velocity perturbation peaked near \(R_0\) |
Inverse Renzo’s Rule |
Phantom profile smoother than baryonic — cannot source sharp features |
MOND transition |
Coherence drops at the radius where \(a(R) = a_0\), i.e., \(K_{\text{eff}} = K_c\) |
Interpolation function |
\(\mu(x) = 1 - 1/x\) from Ott–Antonsen fixed point \(r^* = \sqrt{1-1/x}\) |
Renzo’s Rule follows from the OA fixed-point structure: the baryonic density determines the enclosed mass, which determines the acceleration, which determines the supercriticality ratio \(K/K_c = a/a_0\), which determines the coherence profile \(r^*(R)\), which determines the rotation curve. Every step is a monotone function — baryonic features map one-to-one to rotation curve features.
The ADM-side derivation in 201 proves the same result from the Hamiltonian constraint. Two independent proofs, same conclusion.
