Abstract

This paper isolates “description” as a non-enforcing structure within physical theory and tests whether descriptive elements—such as laws, constants, labels, or summaries—possess any capacity to physically enforce change. Using elimination by necessity, the paper removes description while retaining all interaction-mediated mechanisms and demonstrates that physical evolution remains invariant. The result is a strict separation between enforcement, which occurs only through force and energy–momentum exchange, and description, which functions solely as a representational record of enforced processes without causal or mechanical agency.
