RC-1 — Residue Communication A Reversible Continuity Layer Between Stateless Interaction and Total Storage Continuity Through Chromatic Afterfields in Messaging, Telephony, and Interface Systems

Abstract Residue Communication formalizes a reversible continuity layer for ambient systems in which interaction does not end at transmission. Instead of vanishing into near-zero continuity or collapsing into full symbolic archive, messages, calls, and interface events settle into carried chromatic residues: bounded post-symbolic continuity carriers that preserve relational tone, semantic temperature, drift tendency, and continuity of presence without requiring full textual retention. RC-1 defines a third communication regime in which continuity is carried by residue rather than by exhaustive symbolic storage. This residue is smaller than summary and greater than zero: sufficient to carry future interaction…
