Menger Curvature Consistency and GH–Continuity in the RTLI Coherence Index (With Implementation Pseudocode)

Menger Curvature Consistency and GH–Continuity in the RTLI Coherence Index (With Implementation Pseudocode)

Abstract

This technical note refines the mathematical structure of the RTLI coherence index by introducing a precise, distance-only formulation of curvature consistency based on Menger curvature. Building on prior work showing that RTLI acts as a practical proxy for Gromov–Hausdorff (GH) convergence, this note provides explicit definitions for all components of the RTLI functional—correlation length, curvature consistency, local distance variance, and triangle-inequality deviation—using robust, scale-adaptive statistical methods. The central contribution is the formulation of a Menger-curvature-based consistency invariant, \kappa_{\mathrm{cons}}, which measures curvature coherence across a metric space using median-absolute-deviation (MAD) statistics over well-conditioned triplets at the intrinsic scale r = L_c(X). Because Menger curvature is a pure function of distances, this definition is compatible with GH convergence and avoids coordinate-based curvature estimation. The note also states a natural scale-bound conjecture suggesting Hölder-type GH-stability of \kappa_{\mathrm{cons}}, outlines the path toward establishing GH-continuity of the full RTLI index, and clarifies the geometric meaning of the coherence threshold near \eta \approx 1.7. The result is a rigorous, implementable formulation of RTLI that strengthens its role as a computational tool for detecting geometric coherence, screening GH convergence, and analyzing manifold-likeness in discrete metric data.
