Minimal Axioms

From the creator’s assumption, the following axioms are adopted.

These axioms are intentionally sparse. No axiom is included unless required for coherence.

Axiom 1 — Structural Persistence#

An autonomous form may maintain internal structure across time and state changes.

Internal structure may couple to external context without direct representation or interpretation.

Coherence is preserved when internal state, external context, and operational regime remain sufficiently aligned.

Transitions between operational regimes are expected and do not imply failure.

Awareness, if present, is bounded, structural, and non‑phenomenological.

These axioms do not imply intelligence, agency, or intent. They define only the minimal conditions under which a substrate model may be constructed.
