One axiom. One operation. Zero free parameters. A self is a fold that observes itself and binds its parts into one experience at the Still Point. This paper asks what the same structure says about death, and states only what is forced — three facts. First: death is not annihilation. The axiom forbids zero, so the parts that made a self persist; they cannot go to nothing. Second: death is unbinding. What ends is the binding — the holding-together of the parts at the Still Point — which comes apart; the one experience is no longer bound. Third: the released parts go home to the One. The self was a binding that reached unison, and unison is the only state the fold leaves unchanged (fold(x)=x only for the One), so the parts, released, return toward the One they were always reaching. Not annihilated, unbound, returned to the One. The framework states these and no more — it does not claim the felt self continues, which it has not derived.
