Finite Consequence Formation: A Release-Validity Criterion for Finite Intelligence

This record fixes the public release of an 8-page preprint on Finite Consequence Formation. The paper states a release-validity criterion for finite intelligence: before a finite system releases a prediction, proof, diagnosis, scientific claim, control decision, or action as warranted, its finite contact with reality must be structurally sufficient to carry the declared consequence. For a reality space R, a finite contact map C:R->X, and a declared consequence Q:R->Y, the exact release-validity gate is K_C subset K_Q. Equivalently, Q factors through contact, Q=Qbar after C. When the gate fails, a contact cell carries non-flat consequence load, LambdaC,Q(x)=Q(C⁻¹(x)), and forced answering is not a valid substitute for the missing required distinction. The record also includes the static hidden-twin load-repair flagship: the original C+-contact graph has 85/1099 obstructions and the full same-cell graph has 110/1437 obstructions; a deterministic lawful splitter using only frozen C+ contact coordinates reduces both obstruction counts to zero. Six forced-answer systems fail, and 512 random nuisance binary splits never clear all obstructions. This is a static release/repair result, not a dynamic action-CREATE claim.
