Introduction This work extends the formal model introduced in the Formal Theory of Deterministic Representational Validity, which established the structural conditions governing representational exposure through the definition of the Perceptive Vacuum and the Transition Stabilization Axiom. Informational systems commonly maintain a separation between the authoritative state domain, where canonical system states are persisted, and the representational domain, where informational states are exposed to interfaces, applications, or observation layers. Although representational states are expected to reflect the authoritative condition of the system, conventional architectures often allow representational exposure without deterministic verification of equivalence with the authoritative source. Under such conditions, representational states may appear within the representational domain while their equivalence with the authoritative state remains unresolved. This structural condition is defined as the Perceptive Vacuum. The Transition Stabilization Axiom establishes that representational exposure must be conditioned on deterministic equivalence between the authoritative state and the representational state candidate, implying the need for a stabilization mechanism capable of enforcing this verification prior to projection. This paper introduces the Perceptual Stabilization Transition Architecture, a structural architecture that enforces deterministic conditioning of representational exposure by positioning a stabilization mechanism between the authoritative state domain and the representational exposure boundary. The PSTA therefore defines a deterministic transition-control architecture governing the exposure of representational states derived from authoritative persistence.
