Temporal Architecture and Corridor Admissibility in Coherence-Conditioned Systems

This paper defines corridor admissibility in coherence-conditioned temporal architecture. It is situated after the domain-independent definition of lawhood developed in Lawhood Before Laws: Invariance, Admissibility, and Regime Transformation, after the temporal framework developed in Time as Architecture: Temporal Points, Non-Linear Adjacency, and Readability Without Control, and after the effective temporal-ordering relation defined in Coherence-Conditioned Temporal Ordering in Dissipative and Informational Systems. The paper assumes that effective descriptions are temporally ordered only when recoverability, orientation, and coherence support are jointly satisfied. It then introduces the additional route-level condition under which ordered temporal relations form an admissible corridor. The central claim is that temporal ordering is necessary for route structure but insufficient for corridor admissibility. A pairwise temporal-ordering relation may establish admissible temporal edges among effective descriptions without establishing that a route through those edges remains recoverable, oriented, and coherence-supported from origin to destination. The paper therefore distinguishes ordered temporal relation, induced temporal architecture, candidate route, admissible corridor, traversal, passage, anchoring, external realization, prediction, and control. The formal development introduces an induced temporal architecture TA (S; O) as the directed structure formed on a declared family of effective descriptions by the temporal-ordering relation <T. A candidate route γq from Xₐ to Xb is corridor-admissible only when local recoverability, global recoverability, admissible orientation, and coherence support remain above their respective thresholds. The resulting framework supplies the route-admissibility layer between effective temporal ordering and later analyses of passage, support satisfaction, anchoring, external instantiation, and intervention.
