Symbolic Mechanics: Technical Specification v0.1

**Symbolic Mechanics is a foundational mechanical framework for modeling subjective processing. This whitepaper formalizes the closed-loop engine Δ → S → L → R → Exit → Δ, and defines its core mechanical units: Perceived Difference (Δ), Symbolic Object (S), the Four Seats, Load (L), Rupture (R), and the three deterministic Exit Pathways. The framework provides a system-level, non-psychological explanation for recursive symbolic behavior, emergent human configurations, and the mechanics underlying repetition, projection, and failure of narrative-based self-modification.**
