The Finite Structured-State Transformation Principle: A Feasibility Law for Change in Finite Physical Systems

This paper derives a general constraint structure for structured-state change in finite physical systems from finite capacity, Landauer cost, and finite interaction. It introduces a five-slot feasibility operator for when change is physically achievable, derives three transformation failure modes, and develops a mode taxonomy for refinement, release, transfer, partition, and relational change. The result is positioned as a constraint layer complementary to dynamics rather than a replacement for existing physical theory.Changes in v2.0Finalized canonical version of the paper for use as the opening entry in the series.
