What This Guide Does Every organization, team, or system that persists over time faces the same structural question: can it absorb real transformation without losing its identity? This guide is the practical companion to the La Profilée Foundation Series (Papers 000–005, 2026). The Foundation Series derives the structural conditions of persistence formally, from three minimal assumptions. This guide translates those conditions into diagnostic practice. The guide gives you: the structural condition itself and its formal derivation basis; what F, M, and K mean in real organizations; how IR is estimated from observable proxies; the six structural regimes and how to recognize them; and three structural warning principles that follow necessarily from the architecture.
