Non Extendability in Artificial Agents

This paper establishes that artificial agents are non-extendable under admissibility and standing conservation. It shows by exhaustion that any attempt to permit self-extension, self-modification, recursive augmentation, or open-ended capability growth constitutes illicit scope transport and results in terminal standing failure. The argument is purely negative and structural: it does not propose agent architectures, training regimes, or control mechanisms. Instead, it places on record that admissible agency is necessarily bounded and that extensibility claims are incompatible with legitimacy. The treatment is declarative and non-procedural, avoiding any operational or implementation guidance.
