The Ontological Dominance Papers Theorem 6: The Epoch Extension

This paper states Theorem 6 of the Ontological Dominance Papers, the Epoch Extension, governing the dynamics of AI architecture transitions. The theorem establishes that an entity's position immediately before an architectural transition is amplified, not reset, by that transition — the founder effect amplification — and introduces signal substrate stability, distinguishing architecture-stable structured signals from architecture-volatile signals that may not survive a transition intact. The theorem formalizes the Non-Stationary Channel Protocol, a three-action management framework for the pre-transition period. Consistent with the architecture transition risk identified in OD-S, Theorem 6 was classified VERDICT B upon adversarial review: a formally correct extension of OD-1, confirmed by dual mathematical derivation, with empirical field confirmation pending execution of the designated falsification test.
