Abstract

This paper presents a taxonomy of constraint bundles and proves their structural inseparability within admissible reasoning systems. It shows that foundational constraints (standing, scope, reference, conservation) cannot be independently selected, weighted, or relaxed without inducing inadmissibility. Attempts to treat constraints as modular, optional, or hierarchically overrideable are eliminated by exhaustion. The taxonomy clarifies why partial compliance or selective enforcement fails structurally. No procedural guidance or construction methods are included; the paper provides a classificatory and necessity-based account of constraint interdependence.
