Cohesion Dynamics (CD) — Necessary Conditions for Construction Prior to Physical Law

M1 establishes the necessary conditions for construction in constrained informational domains prior to physical law. The goal is to identify what structural properties any informational substrate must possess to support stable, persistent, and reusable entities—without assuming time, space, energy, or dynamics.

Key Results:

  • Identifies constructive viability as fundamental requirement: informational states must admit local error tolerance, precedence selection, and structural invariance
  • Mismatch formalized as structural degree of freedom (not violation or error)
  • Bounded tolerance WW enables admissibility without rigidity; construction requires divergence and convergence capacity
  • These properties are not emergent features but necessary structural requirements for any substrate capable of supporting constructors

M-Level Formalization: Operates at metaphysical formalization level within CD. Builds only on information as ontologically primitive and constraint satisfaction. No assumptions about measurement, probability, quantum mechanics, or specific physical instantiation.
