Companion paper to the Finite Structured-State Transformation Principle theorem set. Version 1.0. March 2026. This paper derives the release mode of the Finite Structured-State Transformation Principle: the conditions under which a finite system can shed retained interior structure toward a relaxed reference. The central result is a five-term biconditional over a release increment that combines releasable excess, accessible release opportunity, and independent physical execution budgets. The paper identifies exact failure modes for release and places the result as the interior-decrease branch of the broader FSSTP framework.
