Golden-Mean β-Shift

What It Is

Greedy β-expansion digits of a random x in [0,1) at base β = φ ≈ 1.618 (golden ratio). The φ-β-shift is the golden-mean shift of finite type --- the binary sequences with no two consecutive 1s --- which is SOFIC (recognized by a 2-state labeled graph). Topological entropy log φ ≈ 0.481. The sofic pole of a matched-entropy soficity contrast: paired with the Gap-Word β-Shift (non-sofic, β ≈ 1.55) it holds entropy roughly fixed while soficity varies, testing whether the atlas separates sofic from non-sofic beyond entropy / complexity.
