Abstract

This paper identifies what physical enforcement reduces to when stripped to pure quantum physics. Using a strict logical-necessity framework and excluding observers, measurement, mathematics, and interpretation, it shows that persistent constraints can exist only through ongoing interaction that suppresses otherwise allowed quantum transitions. That suppression necessarily involves coupling, back-reaction, and dissipation; when interaction is removed, constraints immediately fail. The result isolates physical enforcement as an active, energy-consuming process at the quantum level and rules out passive or cost-free notions of laws or constraints.
