Abstract

I’m sharing a self-contained archive containing a boundary-first formal grammar I’ve been developing, in which boundaries—rather than objects, quantities, or regions—are treated as primitive structural elements. The system defines local boundary interaction, non-forgetful collapse producing neutral residue, and a terminating, confluent normalization process with unique normal forms. This is not a physical theory and makes no empirical claims. It is a formal language for reasoning about limits, horizons, and stabilization. Everything needed to understand the structure is contained in the archive; a short README explains where to begin.
