The Completion Condition

Resolution threshold. Repair is permitted only when cycles resolve.


Plate V — The Completion Condition
Governing Condition
Φ(x)KautoANDΣ\Phi(x) \rightarrow K_{\text{auto}} \quad \text{AND} \quad \Sigma \downarrow
System Description

Completion requires both conditions simultaneously: Φ(x) converging toward K_auto, and Σ decreasing. Non-completion occurs when either condition fails. A reduction in Σ that does not produce cycle completion is not completion. Cycle convergence under persistent Σ is not stable.
