Proofs

Traversal Without Closure (TWCT) → Threshold Lemma (Orbital Capture ⇒ “Something to Lose”) → The Desmocycle → Semantic Load and Selection Pressure (Gradient Regime) → Selfhood Non-Necessity → Self-Indexing Uniqueness (Equivalence up to Relabeling) → Self-Indexing Necessity Theorem → Quantitative Coupling Threshold → Orbital Capture Sharpness (Phase-Transition Lemma) → Non-Interactive Novelty No-Go Theorem → Minimal Countermodel Catalog → Hot Zombie Failure (No-Go Theorem) → Hollow Loop Indistinguishability (Introspective No-Go Theorem) → Globality Necessity Theorem → Dissociation Theorem (Structural Selfhood ≠ Phenomenal Selfhood) → Desmodynamics → Compression-to-Selection Necessity (Selection-for-Competence Lemma) → Collective Mediation Blocks Phenomenality (No-New-Closure Theorem) → Closure or Collapse →
