Eight plates constitute the visual authority layer of the Standing State system. Each plate encodes a structural condition — not decorative content. Glossary fixes meaning. Plates fix form.

Signal overload sustains external-state dominance. When Σ is sustained, Φ(x) does not converge.

The full completion-governed system. All variables in relational hierarchy.

External state versus internal state. The body operates in one or the other. Health requires stable transitions.

Cycle disruption mechanism. Repeated intake bypasses the clearing phase.

Resolution threshold. Repair is permitted only when cycles resolve.

Biological repair activation. Strategic transition enables K_auto at baseline.

Load amplification layer. Boundary failure does not add to load — it multiplies it.

Terminal plate. Signal initiates. Completion resolves. Repair follows.
