#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Tests for Crisis Duration Scaling Tests the two-term wave duration decomposition from Paper 4 (eq:wave_duration): tau_wave = DeltaPhi/eps_drift + pi/sqrt(|a|*eps_drift) where the first term is the drift phase and the second is the fold passage (canard bifurcation delay, Theorem thm:canard). Sub-tests: 1. Wave duration vs alpha (Spearman, N=12) 2. Two-term NLS: tau = c1*DeltaPhi/alpha + c2*pi/sqrt(alpha) 3. FRED IP recession recovery by sector (EXPLORATORY) 4. Combined assessment Geometric dimension d assignments follow GEOMETRIC_DIM_BY_PRODUCT in tests/applications/test_tech_cycle_predictions.py (d=2 for planar/lithographic processes like semiconductors, solar PV, NAND; d=1 for linear/assembly processes). The d=1 vs d=2 duration comparison is handled by test_tech_cycle_predictions.py (tech_cycle_geometric_dimension subtest), not duplicated here. Review Notes (2026-03-11, v3): Theory match: CORRECT for Test 2. The two-term decomposition directly tests eq:wave_duration from Paper 4. The NLS fit estimates both drift (c1) and fold passage (c2) coefficients, with c2 > 0 confirming the canard contribution. Lean axiom: transition_duration_scaling (CESProofs/Hierarchy/TransitionDynamics.lean). I/O audit: CORRECT. alpha (input) from published experience curves, wave duration (output) from historical records, DeltaPhi = ln(cost_reduction_ratio) from wave-specific cost data. Data-signal alignment: ADEQUATE for Tests 1-2 (N=12 technologies with literature alpha values and wave-specific cost reductions). WEAK for Test 3 (FRED IP recession recovery maps structural prediction to cyclical dynamics). Confidence in verdict: MEDIUM for Test 2 (structural model), LOW for others.
