The aim is to establish a framework that treats preserved distinction as fundamental within physical systems.
Developed a criterion-level framework based on preserved distinction and physical information.
Analyzed the roles of finite constraints, quantum, and classical structures in this context.
Unified various concepts like witness, boundary, particle, and large-scale structures.
Introduced a novel hierarchical account unifying different physical structures.
Showed how preserved distinction can act as a primitive concept in physical theories.

Implication

Monograph demonstrates a criterion-level framework for unifying physical structures, suggesting new insights into their relationships.

Abstract

This monograph presents a criterion-level framework in which physically admissible preserved distinction is treated as the top primitive, with physical information as substrate, finite constraints as the realizability gate, quantum structure as the fuller regime, and classical structure as the finite-witness quotient. It unifies witness, boundary, particle, and large-scale structure into a single hierarchical account.
