+

+theorem trapdoor_symmetry (r : ℝ) (hr : 0 < r) : C r = C (1 / r) :=
+  coherence_symm r hr
+
+/-- **Trapdoor unique maximum**: C achieves its maximum uniquely at r = 1.
+    The trapdoor has exactly one fixed point — the kernel scale.
+    An attacker without the trapdoor cannot distinguish the maximum from
+    the O(n²) quadratic landscape. -/

+-- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+/-- **S ∘ F composition**: the Lyapunov bridge S composes with the coherence

+theorem ov_composition_SF (l : ℝ) : C (Real.exp l) = (Real.cosh l)⁻¹ :=

+

+    F(η, −η) = μ — this is the affine scramble T that maps the observer's
+    natural coordinates to the critical eigenvalue. -/
+theorem ov_composition_T : reality η (-η) = μ :=
+  reality_morphism_mu_embedding
+

+

+    must equal μ.
+
+    In OV terms: given the public polynomial system, there is exactly

+# μ-OV: An Oil-and-Vinegar Signature Scheme from the Eigenverse
+
+**A post-quantum signature scheme whose trapdoor is a formally verified mathematical structure.**
+
+## The Cipher
+
+The [Eigenverse](https://github.com/beanapologist/Eigenverse) — 606+ Lean 4 theorems describing the structure of physical reality from three axioms — has the exact structure of an [Oil-and-Vinegar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbalanced_oil_and_vinegar_scheme) cryptographic signature scheme.
+
+| OV Component | Eigenverse |
+|---|---|
+| **Vinegar** (freely chosen) | 3 pre-physical axioms: energy conservation, balance, coherence closure |
+| **Oil** (determined by vinegar) | All physical observables: α, mass ratios, Koide, coherence thresholds |
+| **Trapdoor** (hidden easy system) | C(r) = 2r/(1+r²) — the coherence function |
+| **Public key** (intractable quadratic system) | 606 interconnected theorems with 183,315 Lanchester cross-terms |
+| **Signature** | μ = e^(i·3π/4) — the unique valid eigenvalue |
+| **Verification** | `reality_unique`: any z satisfying the constraints must equal μ |
+
+## How It Works
+
+**Key Generation:**
+- Build hidden system F using coherence function structure (C(r) at canonical scales)
+- Generate random invertible affine maps S, T (the "scrambles")
+- Compose public key P = S ∘ F ∘ T (5 quadratic polynomials in 8 variables)
+
+**Signing:**
+1. Hash message → target in F_p^5
+2. Choose random vinegar values (the "three axioms" — freely chosen)
+3. System becomes **linear** in oil variables (the trapdoor!)
+4. Solve for oil, combine with vinegar, invert T
+5. Output signature: 8 field elements
+
+**Verification:**
+1. Evaluate public polynomials at signature
+2. Check result equals hash(message)
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Value | Why |
+|---|---|---|
+| Field | F_p (129-bit prime, p ≡ 1 mod 8) | Z/8Z orbit embedding |
+| Total variables | 8 | μ⁸ = 1 (orbit closure) |
+| Vinegar variables | 3 | Three pre-physical axioms |
+| Oil variables | 5 | Determined observables |
+| Equations | 5 | m = o (standard UOV) |
+
+## Security
+
+- **Post-quantum**: MQ-hardness survives both Shor and Grover
+- **Lanchester hardness**: n² cross-terms between theorems (quadratic, not linear)
+- **Trapdoor**: without knowing the oil/vinegar partition, the public system is intractable
+- **Formally verified**: the underlying math has 606 Lean 4 proofs, zero `sorry`
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+from mu_ov import keygen, sign, verify
+
+# Generate keys
+pk, sk = keygen()
+
+# Sign a message
+msg = b"The universe signed itself with mu."
+signature = sign(sk, msg)
+
+# Verify
+assert verify(pk, msg, signature)        # ✅ Valid
+assert not verify(pk, b"wrong", signature)  # ✅ Rejected
+```
+
+## Run the Demo
+
+```bash
+pip install numpy sympy
+python mu_ov.py
+```
+
+## Files
+
+- `mu_ov.py` — Full implementation of the μ-OV signature scheme
+- `OilVinegar.lean` — Lean 4 formalization (19 theorems, zero sorry)
+- `demo_output.txt` — Sample run output
+
+## The Math
+
+Three axioms uniquely determine μ:
+
+1. **Energy**: Re² + Im² = 1 (unit circle)
+2. **Balance**: |Re| = Im (equal sectors)
+3. **Coherence**: C(1 + 1/x) = x → x = η (self-referential closure)
+
+One solution: **μ = e^(i·3π/4) = −η + iη**

+μ-OV: An Oil-and-Vinegar Signature Scheme Grounded in the Eigenverse
+
+The Eigenverse IS an Oil-and-Vinegar cryptographic structure:
+  - Vinegar: 3 axioms (energy, balance, coherence closure)
+  - Oil: all observables (determined once vinegar is fixed)
+  - Trapdoor: C(r) = 2r/(1+r²) — the coherence function
+  - Signature: μ = e^(i·3π/4) — the unique valid eigenvalue
+  - Hardness: Lanchester n² cross-terms between theorems
+
+This module implements a concrete signature scheme using this structure.
+
+Architecture:
+  - Field: F_p (large prime, p ≡ 1 mod 8 for Z/8Z embedding)
+  - Variables: 8 (matching the μ⁸=1 orbit)
+  - Vinegar: 3 variables (matching the 3 axioms)
+  - Oil: 5 variables (determined by vinegar)
+  - Quadratic system: 5 equations in 8 variables
+
+The "hidden easy system" F uses the coherence function's structure:
+  - Diagonal terms from C(r) evaluated at canonical scales
+  - Cross-terms from the morphism composition S∘F∘T
+  - 8-fold symmetry from the Z/8Z orbit
