Paper VI - Recursive Constraint Formation and Escape Dynamics in Nonequilibrium Systems

This paper is part of the Infropy / Constraint Dynamics Series (Paper VI of VIII) and develops a dynamical framework linking persistence to escape-rate behavior in nonequilibrium systems. It shows how recursive constraint formation modifies transition structure and increases effective barrier height. Persistence time is treated as a first-passage quantity governed by escape dynamics. It builds on the persistence scaling framework introduced in Paper V.
