Paper_B1 Constraint Bonding and Regime Formation

This paper analyzes how constraint bonding gives rise to distinct regimes within admissible inquiry, without introducing new primitives, dynamics, or generative mechanisms. It shows that regimes are not constructed or evolved, but arise when existing constraints become mutually load-bearing under admissibility. The central result is that regime formation is a structural consequence of constraint compatibility, not an emergent process or historical sequence. When constraints bond, they delimit a stable representational region with fixed admissible behavior. When bonding fails, no regime exists, regardless of explanatory ambition or empirical success. This work provides the structural basis for later regime classifications by clarifying how regimes form, persist, or fail purely through constraint relations. It blocks illicit explanations that appeal to causation, optimization, or emergence at the regime level. No procedures, constructions, simulations, or operational criteria are introduced. The analysis is entirely structural and exhaustion-based. Keywords: constraint bonding, regime formation, admissibility, standing, structural stability, foundations of science
