the apparatus

The formal companion to the framework's prose. Thirteen sections; fifteen formal results; six measurable instruments; three intervention modes in a 2×2 causal taxonomy. The apparatus is the spine the prose mirrors at every load-bearing claim.

  1. The performative setup (P1)–(P5), the closure as fixed point of Φ, the three axiom groups

  2. §1

    Foreclosure

    The closed loop drives the survival function at the reflective threshold to operational zero

  3. §2

    Reclamation as learnability

    Theorem 1' — sample-complexity divergence under closed-loop sampling

  4. §3

    Auxiliary structural results

    Propositions 4'–7': dividual condition, metric superego, captured resonance, libidinal routing

  5. §4

    Parametric continuity

    Lemma 2 — the technical scaffold for Mode A's parametric continuity argument

  6. Propositions 1'–3' on Modes A/B/C, the 2×2 site×source taxonomy, the Mode A scaffold's five features

  7. §6

    Cohort gradient

    Proposition 8 — formal derivation of the developmental decay D_KL · e^(−2Kτ)

  8. §7

    Performative do-calculus

    Theorem 9 — the unified sensitivity formula. Closure-amplification (I − D_θ Φ)^(−1)

  9. Theorem 10 + corollaries. Engagement cascade, percolation threshold, cohort graph-amplification

  10. §9

    Rate-of-foreclosure refinement

    Theorem 11 — intermediate tail regimes between polynomial and exponential

  11. §10

    Crisis-boundary classification

    Theorem 12 — three generic bifurcation regimes at the contractivity boundary, plus the symmetry-protected pitchfork

  12. What the apparatus delivers; what it does not yet deliver

  13. Per-result calibration hooks; the reflexive measurement problem
