This paper develops a boundary-centered architecture in which localized excitations arise from stabilization of redistribution flows across active surfaces within the ψ₀–OCM framework. Surface invariants are introduced as organizing quantities that classify stabilized configurations, and stabilization-driven symmetry is proposed as one conceptual route toward gauge-like equivalence, without replacing existing dynamical theories. Internal organization is explored through vortical and knotted structures, which act as constraints on how redistribution may stabilize rather than as material constituents. Zero-point behaviour is interpreted within this framework as a consequence of incomplete detachment in stabilized nodes. Instead of being treated as mysterious vacuum fluctuation, it appears as residual stabilization pressure associated with boundary-locked configurations that remain close to collapse but never fully re-integrate. The framework does not attempt to reconstruct the Standard Model or map individual particles to specific topological classes. Instead, it establishes a structural program linking boundary stabilization, invariants, symmetry behaviour, topology, and ground-state activity, while identifying qualitative expectations and future directions for technical development. The goal is to document the conceptual pathway and establish precedence for this organizing strategy within ψ₀–OCM.
