Standalone record of the Viridis Canon — Monitoring series (S2, the Surveyor family). The core IB spine is unchanged (frozen at v9). Proves the Certification Complexity Theorem (CCT): the cost of certifying a conservation/measurement claim is itself bounded by the Intelligence Bound applied to the monitor. Lean 4 (Aristotle 062250b6, zero sorry, axioms ⊆ propext, Classical. choice, Quot. sound) certifies (T1) a Landauer-priced certification-ceiling positivity (the IB self-applied to the certifier), (T2) the certified-bit budget chain C ≤ Ecert·D/εL, and (T3) a strictly-positive certification floor εL·ln (1/φ) for confidence φ∈ (0, 1). Pairs with the Monitoring Water-Filling Theorem (MWT) and the D-Score Measurement Closure Theorem (DMCT). Working paper; not peer-reviewed.
