Conceptual paper proposing that psychological regulation is signal-class-dependent rather than globally scalar. Different psychologically meaningful signal classes sustain different effective representational resolution levels, producing characteristic compression profiles that explain paradoxical functioning without requiring global dysfunction. Introduces signal class taxonomy, representational resolution, compression as structural phenomenon, and dynamic stress modulation. Part of the SRF Theory Program, Paper 4.
