This paper determines what enters realizational candidacy under Admissibility, what becomes a realizational intermediate there under farther burden, and what remains identifiable and retained there as the same candidate before the standing threshold becomes live. Entry into the candidate set is governed not by descriptive appeal, explanatory convenience, or structural visibility alone, but by admissibility-governed recordability, joint admissibility, and non-fragmenting availability of the same candidate under pressure. Within that field, a realizational intermediate becomes stronger than a figure, a trace, or a descriptive convenience because it begins to gather object-status through candidate identifiability and burden-bearing continuity under farther burden. The strongest lawful verdict secured here is Candidate Retention: the same candidate remains identifiable and retainable under farther burden without yet imposing lawful retention as Standing. The paper also fixes the candidacy-line failure surface—object-formation failure, descriptive overreach, candidacy loss under farther burden, and illicit substitution—and stops where the next question first becomes unavoidable: under what condition retention becomes claimable beyond the candidacy line itself.
