+    BraidSpherionBridge.lean proves the formal correspondence between:
+      - SpherionState (MMR + Mountains + RG flow via betaStep)
+      - BraidState    (8 strands + crossStep)
+
+    Key theorems:
+      1. braidCross_merge_correspondence: RG step = braid crossing
+         braidCross phase = Mountain.merge apex (linear accumulation)
+      2. k_spike_step_count: after k spikes, step_count = k
+         Convergence is well-defined and measurable
+      3. receipt_encode_stable: at eigensolid, receipt is invariant
+         Only step_count increments — state is fixed under RG flow
+
+    This is the formal proof that the RG fixed point EXISTS.
+    The algebraic identity 9^α = 16 proves the FORMULA.
+    The receipt stability proves the FIXED POINT.
+
+    Connection to boundary universality:
+      Different physical systems (fracture, coastlines, KAM)
+      → All governed by the same RG step (fragmentation)
+      → All converge to the same fixed point (D = log₃(4))
+      → Receipt is stable across systems
