Abstract

The theorem proves that closed classical gravity in three spatial dimensions admits exactly three symmetry-exhausted closure regimes and no fourth. The result is a structural classification based on classical covariance, finite quadratic closure, and exhaustion of functional freedom under symmetry, and is independent of field equations, matter content, or phenomenology.
