Abstract

his paper establishes a necessity result for closed epistemic systems: once admissibility and standing are fixed and closure is achieved by exhaustion, the admissible structure is unique. The argument is eliminative and non-constructive. It shows that any putative alternative admissible structure either collapses into the same structure under admissible redescription or violates closure by introducing illicit scope transport, hidden parameters, or non-conserved standing. No new primitives are introduced, no operational procedures are specified, and no reconstruction pathway is provided. The result functions as a boundary theorem: uniqueness is not a design choice, optimization, or convention, but a forced consequence of closure itself.
