Retention Without Return: A Structural System of Irreversibility (The Non-Modal Structural System I)

Key Points

This text aims to establish the structural conditions required for irreversibility in systems, explaining how retention functions without return.
Defines minimal structural conditions for irreversibility
Fixes configuration as a difference-structure
Describes retention as structural persistence
Analyzes the absence of integration and return
Establishes irreversibility as a structural condition
Demonstrates that retention occurs without return
Identifies asymmetry as a critical factor in time fixation

Abstract

This text fixes the minimal structural conditions under which irreversibility holds. Configuration is fixed as a difference-structure under structural constraint. Retention is fixed as structural persistence. No total integration is constituted. No return is established. Irreversibility is not introduced as a derived property. It is fixed as a structural condition determined by the absence of integration and return. Time is fixed where retention holds without return under asymmetry.
