Recoverable Continuity as a Cross-Domain Structural Constraint on Coherent Attribution

This paper introduces recoverable continuity as a cross-domain structural constraint on coherent attribution. It argues that scientific description presupposes sufficient cross-temporal state inheritance for systems to remain meaningfully identifiable across time. Rather than proposing a new mechanism within physics, biology, or consciousness studies, the framework functions as a boundary condition on what counts as a structurally admissible domain of explanation. By formalizing continuity as an iterative closure condition (C² = C), the work establishes recoverable continuity as a necessary precondition for lawful evolution, biological persistence, and subject continuity, positioning it upstream of domain-specific theories rather than in competition with them.
