Theoretical analysis reveals pairwise non-entailment between world availability and existence claims, highlighting the necessity of explicit bridge axioms to evaluate world loss.
Discussions of world plurality and apparent disappearance often move too quickly between distinct claims: that a target is operationally unavailable, that its configuration has ceased, that it no longer exists, that it has been created or annihilated, or that it has crossed into a more fundamental null sector. This paper develops a typed diagnostic framework for separating these claims. The framework uses distinct sorts for bodies, clusters, structured world-tokens, reference contexts, assessment states, and a null-boundary token. Operational availability is reference-relative and is explicitly distinguished from the accessibility relation of Kripke semantics. Within a fixed-domain semantics, changes in availability or configuration do not add or remove world-sort elements, so availability onset and loss cannot by themselves represent world creation or annihilation. For whole-world loss, an additional admissibility condition is required: the certifying reference context must remain live and must not be constituted solely by the target world. The central result is a Typed Non-Identification Theorem Schema: in the declared bridge-free model class, operational-availability loss, existence-status loss, configuration-status loss, and a claimed transition to the null-boundary sector are pairwise non-entailing unless explicit directed bridge axioms are supplied. The contribution is diagnostic and integrative rather than a new multiverse ontology, physical mechanism, or empirical detection proposal.
