This paper provides a structurally rigorous walkthrough of Substrate-Neutral Structural Foundation Theory (SNSFT). It introduces four irreducible functional primitives—Pattern (P), Narrative (N), Behavior (B), and Adaptation (A)—and a core dynamics equation that unifies identity, quantum mechanics (QM), and general relativity (GR) as realm-specific projections of a single substrate-neutral structure. [span_1](start_span)[span_2](start_span)[span_3](start_span)The framework treats identity as a trajectory in PNBA space governed by "identity mass" and "purpose vectors," resolving classic paradoxes (like the Ship of Theseus and quantum measurement) by treating identity as a functional invariant rather than a material or narrative label.
