Abstract

This white paper constitutes the final part of a three-level analytical series devoted to the evaluation of decision coherence. It addresses the question that arises only after two prior results have been established: the local coherence of a decision at the point of action, and the global incoherence of the same decision once it unfolds as a real object in the system. The series has demonstrated that the dissolution of the French National Assembly announced on 9 June 2024 was locally coherent as an act, yet globally incoherent as an object. The present work starts from this established incoherence and does not seek to revisit or contest it. Its object is neither the decision itself nor its legitimacy, but the future that follows from an incoherent past. The central premise of this white paper is that after a globally incoherent decision, the future of a system is no longer open. It is constrained. Certain trajectories become impossible, others become increasingly costly, and only a limited subset remains admissible without contradiction or permanent compensation. The purpose of this work is to identify and evaluate those admissible trajectories. The analysis treats the French political system as it exists after the dissolution and its observed consequences. These consequences are not interpreted, justified, or debated; they are taken as boundary conditions. At the national level, they include persistent institutional fragmentation, governance by compensation, normalization of exceptional procedures, and extended decision cycles. At the European level, they include reduced coherence of representation, temporal desynchronization with European institutional cycles, and constrained strategic initiative. Broader international effects are deliberately excluded, as they would require causal speculation beyond what is structurally observable. The methodology applied in this white paper is neither predictive nor prescriptive. It does not forecast events, propose reforms, or recommend actions. It evaluates admissibility. A future trajectory is considered coherent if corrective pressure diminishes over time, convergence toward stability is observable, and continuity can be maintained without exceptional measures becoming permanent. A trajectory is considered incoherent if it requires escalating compensation beyond the system’s capacity for maintenance. On this basis, the work establishes a closed typology of admissible futures. Persistent incoherence allows continuity to be preserved at increasing structural cost. Abrupt reconfiguration restores coherence through discontinuity at high risk. Minimal coherent recomposition reduces corrective pressure gradually within constraint and is the only trajectory that decreases coherence debt over time. Trajectories that exceed maintenance capacity are excluded as non-admissible. This white paper does not express preference among admissible futures. It does not assign responsibility, evaluate intentions, or propose political solutions. Its contribution is strictly structural. It clarifies which futures can still hold after incoherence has occurred, and which cannot, given the constraints already in force. Together with the prior evaluations of local coherence and global coherence, this work completes a coherent analytical sequence: admissibility of the act, admissibility of the object, and admissibility of the futures that follow. The series does not seek to guide choice, but to delimit the space within which choice remains possible. In doing so, it establishes a general framework applicable beyond the specific case examined, to any decision whose local validity and global behavior must be evaluated separately. DOI 1 — Local Coherence of the Dissolution This record evaluates the local coherence of the dissolution of the French National Assembly announced on 9 June 2024. Local coherence is defined as the admissibility of an act at the point where it is taken. It concerns internal consistency, legal admissibility, and immediate non-contradiction within the applicable normative and institutional framework. The analysis demonstrates that the dissolution satisfies the conditions of local coherence. The act was constitutionally admissible, clearly formulated, and coherent at the moment of decision. No internal contradiction or logical inconsistency is identified at this level. This evaluation is intentionally limited in scope. It does not assess the behavior of the dissolution once it becomes embedded in the system, nor its capacity to stabilize, propagate, or maintain coherence over time. The purpose of this record is to establish local admissibility only. It provides a necessary condition for further evaluation, but not a sufficient condition for global coherence. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18298563 DOI 2 — Global Incoherence of the Dissolution This record evaluates the dissolution of the French National Assembly announced on 9 June 2024 as a real systemic object unfolding over time. Global coherence is defined as the admissibility of a decision as a trajectory once it becomes embedded in a system. It concerns reception, execution, diffusion, corrective load, and convergence or non-convergence toward stability. Building on the established local coherence of the act, the analysis demonstrates that the dissolution is globally incoherent. Across institutional, collective, executive, communicational, and temporal states, the trajectory requires continuous compensation and does not converge toward a stable configuration. Corrective pressure does not diminish over time. Exceptional procedures, governance reconfigurations, and fragmentation persist, indicating that coherence is maintained through sustained effort rather than structural alignment. This verdict does not imply error, illegitimacy, or irrationality. It reflects a mismatch between the local validity of the act and the capacity of the system to absorb and maintain it as a whole. This record establishes the global admissibility verdict for the dissolution as an object, independently of political interpretation or normative judgment. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18297352
