Let φ = (1 + √5) / 2 = 1.618033988749895
14+
Let φ = (1 + √5) / 2 = 1.618033988749895 (Golden Ratio)
1515
16-
φ² = φ + 1 = 2.618033988749895
17-
1/φ² = φ² - 2 = 0.381966011250105
16+
φ² = ((1 + √5) / 2)² = (6 + 2√5) / 4 = (3 + √5) / 2 = 2.618...

19-
φ² + 1/φ² = 2.618... + 0.382... = 3.0 ∎
18+
1/φ = (√5 - 1) / 2 (property of golden ratio)
19+
1/φ² = ((√5 - 1) / 2)² = (6 - 2√5) / 4 = (3 - √5) / 2 = 0.382...
20+
21+
φ² + 1/φ² = (3 + √5)/2 + (3 - √5)/2 = 6/2 = 3 ∎

### Theorem 2: Optimal Radix
25+
26+
```
27+
For fixed budget B, information is maximized at radix e ≈ 2.718
28+
29+
Proof:
30+
I(r) = (B/r) × log₂(r) = B × ln(r) / (r × ln(2))
31+
dI/dr = 0 → ln(r) = 1 → r = e
32+
33+
Nearest integer to e is 3 (ternary system).
34+
Ternary achieves 94.9% of theoretical maximum efficiency.
35+
```
36+
37+
### Theorem 3: Ternary Information Density
38+
39+
```
40+
Binary: log₂(2) = 1.00 bits/digit
41+
Ternary: log₂(3) = 1.58496 bits/digit
42+
43+
Improvement: +58.5% information density per digit!
44+
```
45+
46+
### Theorem 4: Radix Economy
47+
48+
```
49+
E(r) = r × ln(N) / ln(r)
50+
51+
E(2) = 2.885 × ln(N)
52+
E(3) = 2.731 × ln(N) ← MINIMUM (best)
53+
E(4) = 3.000 × ln(N)
54+
55+
Ternary has best radix economy among all integers!

**Key Insight:** Ternary weights {-1, 0, +1} eliminate multiplications:
92+
- W = -1: result = -X (negation, free)
93+
- W = 0: result = 0 (skip, free)

- W = +1: result = +X (copy, free)
