The Architecture of Dead Ends: Why Some Technologies Can Never Scale

This paper serves as the closing manifesto of a research cycle conducted between December 2025 and March 2026. Across nine papers spanning computing, transport, urban systems, physics and space propulsion, a recurring architectural pattern emerges: systems that carry the conditions of their own operation inside themselves inevitably encounter scalability limits. The work formulates two principles: • Architectural Limit Principle• Condition Localization Principle The paper summarizes the research cycle and provides references to the nine works that form its theoretical and engineering foundation.
