The grades
Every section graded. Every dependency named.
Conditional on: AP01 (structural correspondence only — no formal result in AP02 requires AP01). AP02’s six axioms (A1–A6) are standard physical constraints inherited from thermodynamics, information theory, and control theory.
They are not derived from the argument’s axiom system {S, B, R, C}; they are independently motivated physical facts that the axiom system also entails. The correspondence is structural (see Appendix A), not logical.
Conditioned upon by: No subsequent Artist’s Proof formally depends on AP02. AP02 is a self-contained human-scale projection of the viability geometry of AP01’s programme. Its results are independently derivable from standard control theory.
Kill switches: KS-O.1 (drift-discipline duality, LIVE — EMPIRICAL). KS-O.2
(capacity horizon, LIVE — EMPIRICAL). KS-O.3 (exit optimality, LIVE — EMPIRICAL). Detailed falsification criteria in Appendix C (20+ tests at four levels).
