Architectural Gravity: Notes on Persistence, Irreversibility, and Geometric Constraint

These notes outline a conceptual framework referred to as Architectural Gravity, which treats persistence under irreversible change as a structural constraint on admissible system evolution. The document is exploratory in nature and intended as a priority record and research program definition rather than a complete or finalized theory. No new dynamical laws or forces are proposed. Instead, the framework articulates global constraints and consistency relations applicable to systems undergoing cumulative irreversibility, with discussion spanning thermodynamics, open quantum systems, and cosmological geometry. The notes are presented to establish conceptual precedence and to invite further analysis, refinement, and critique.
