Governance Eventlessness and the Prohibition of Process Semantics

This paper proves that process semantics are prohibited at the governance layer. Once admissibility and standing conservation are enforced, governance admits no processes, workflows, transitions, or sequences—only eventless, boundary-level evaluations of legitimacy. Any attempt to describe governance in terms of procedures, stages, feedback loops, or iterative improvement is shown to rely on illicit projection of lower-layer dynamics into a domain where they cannot apply. The argument is strictly eliminative and non-constructive, introducing no alternative governance mechanisms or models. By enforcing eventlessness as a necessity rather than a design choice, the paper closes an entire class of governance, alignment, and policy frameworks that presuppose process where only structural boundary conditions can exist.
