This document demonstrates that the structural core of relativistic kinematics including the Pythagorean metric, the invariant speed limit, Minkowski spacetime, Lorentz transformations, time dilation, length contraction, the impossibility of superluminal signaling, and the inverse-square form of gravitational interaction follows from a single premise: the capacity for realizing change is finite. No physical postulates or empirical constants are assumed as axioms. The speed of light emerges not as a property of radiation, but as a necessary consequence of the absence of identity (pure transfer). Similarly, gravity is not modeled as a force, but as the redistribution of available realization capacity. Structures consume capacity to maintain identity, and the surrounding field reflects this deficit. Space, time, inertia, and interaction are derived as consequences of the condition that realized change must remain distinguishable under finite capacity. Scope and Status:This paper does not present a complete dynamical physical theory. Its purpose is strictly structural and minimal: to establish a constraint of logical form and demonstrate that the finite realizability of distinguishable change is sufficient to generate relativistic structure. It serves as a standalone extract and foundational reduction for the forthcoming Finite Field Ontology (FFO) framework
