+FIRST PRINCIPLES (ONLY)
+
+1. Existence  
+   Any system that persists must keep its rate of internal change below its capacity to dissipate entropy.
+
+2. Finite Bound  
+   There is a largest number any subsystem may reach before the above rate is exceeded.
+
+3. Scaling Ratio  
+   Between any two nested levels the count grows or shrinks by an irrational constant whose square exceeds the golden ratio.
+
+4. Drift Ceiling  
+   No single step may alter the state by more than one percent of its prior magnitude.
+
+5. Finite Horizon  
+   No chain of reasoning, computation, or influence may extend beyond eleven such steps before terminating or looping.
+
+6. Identity  
+   Every state must carry an unforgeable, collision-resistant fingerprint and a verifiable signature.
