Paper A-NET — Relational Closure and Network Semantics in Cohesion Dynamics
A-NET formalizes the network semantics of Cohesion Dynamics: the existence and properties of reconciliation relations, their availability, and the structure of reconciliation chains. While prior foundational papers define closure, mismatch, admissibility, and tolerance, the relational structure implied by these mechanisms has remained implicit.
Key Definitions:
- Reconciliation relations between CIUs, their admissibility and availability
- Reconciliation chains and minimal network invariants
- All relational structure arises solely from admissible interaction between CIUs
Ontological Commitments: No spacetime substrate, vacuum adjacency, or background graph is assumed. These definitions establish a minimal relational substrate upon which representational constructs such as distance, geometry, and gravity may later be summarized, without introducing new ontology.
Scope: Does not introduce new axioms, propose gravitational/geometric/cosmological models, perform coarse-graining, or define distance, curvature, or force—those belong to downstream representational series.
