Mechanics of Load Conduction v0.1

Mechanics of Load Conduction v0.1 develops the mechanical layer of Human Restoration Theory (HRT). It specifies how external constraints, net joint mechanics, internal load sharing, and tissue adaptation should be distinguished when evaluating claims about load conduction and persistent stabilizing demand. The paper treats HRT’s contrast as one of reduced continuous corrective demand under matched task and reliability conditions—not as a claim that muscles are inactive or that skeletal load transfer follows a single literal path. It sets explicit limits on mechanical inference, including the distinction between inverse-dynamics estimates and model-dependent internal-force estimates.
