Abstract:
Within the UNNS Grammar, Operator XIV (Φ-Scale) expresses the universal law of recursive scale symmetry:
the principle that the grammar of nesting reproduces itself at discrete magnifications governed by the golden ratio
φ ≈ 1.618. This operator bridges Operator Interlace (XIII) —
the coupling of phases — with Prism (XV) — the spectral decomposition of those couplings —
by introducing a self-similarity constraint on the grammar itself. In the Φ-Scale Chamber, this symmetry manifests as a minimum
of the Δscale(μ) functional, signaling that recursion has discovered its own invariant scale.
This is not φ inserted by hand — it is φ emerging as the only ratio where recursion recognizes itself perfectly across magnification.
