The Principle of Minimal Inconsistency in the Fractal Consistency Law

The Principle of Minimal Inconsistency in the Fractal Consistency Law: Class-indexed inconsistency functionals, canonical transport selection, Lyapunov relaxation, and the effective-action bridge Structural Foundations of the Fractal Consistency Law This paper presents the Principle of Minimal Inconsistency (PMI) as the central selection principle of the Fractal Consistency Law (FCL) in a rebuilt and publication-oriented form. The PMI is reformulated as a disciplined principle acting on class-indexed canonical inconsistency functionals. The paper shows how the canonical transport functional selects the exponent alpha equals three-halves in the balanced class, explains the role of Lyapunov relaxation and asymptotic attractors, and formulates the bridge from microscopic restoration burden to the effective derivative-free potential of the macroscopic action. The result is a coherent paper in which the PMI appears not as elastic metaphysics but as a class-rigid principle of structural selection.
