This preprint presents Model-X, an action-based constitutive completion of Einstein gravity in the extreme-curvature regime. The framework leaves the Einstein tensor untouched and modifies only the admissibility law for matter above a covariant threshold. The paper establishes variational closure, exact recovery below threshold, local constitutive-core existence with bounded polynomial curvature invariants, strong hyperbolicity on an admissibility shell, and a detector-facing echo-delay prediction for ultracompact constitutive remnants.
