Formal modeling demonstrates that generative-field interventions alter future relational transformations independently of observable states, highlighting constraints on social system viability.
Intervention in relational social systems is commonly modeled through changes in states, ties, incentives, control inputs, or transition rules. This article formalizes a different problem: interventions that alter the relational conditions governing which system transformations can subsequently be generated. It introduces actor-specific generative fields and separates observable state from generative-field configuration. Three results follow. State and field change are non-equivalent; local field change propagates only when transition-support boundaries are crossed; and projected generative viability is contained in conventional state viability, with equality characterized by viable lifting and field-fiber invariance. A minimal relational illustration shows how identical observable states can differ in their capacity for viable continuation. The framework extends established intervention and viability analysis.
