This paper fixes the dependency structure as a unique, non-branching, minimal, and non-extendable chain. No additional node is admitted. No removal preserves the structure. No extension preserves the structure. No branching is admitted. No alternative configuration is admitted. No causality or temporality is introduced. The structure is fixed as a closed chain under these conditions.
