Formal results show the independence of Frame from the persistence ratio in systems with determinate existence.
This paper formalizes the structural necessity result established across the preceding papers in this series. Starting from three minimal conditions — distinguishability, real transformation, and identity continuity — it derives through a sequence of lemmata and theorems that any system admitting determinate existence under real transformation must instantiate exactly three non-substitutable structural functions (Frame, Module, Coupling), a multiplicative integration capacity, and a bounded persistence ratio IR ≤ 1. The Frame Continuity Condition (FCC) is shown to be independent of IR, generating a closed five-regime phase space. No alternative structure is compatible with the stated conditions of determinate identity under real transformation. The result is not a model of system behavior. It is a structural admissibility condition on determinate existence.
