BU21 Resolution-Gap Indicator and Cost-Bridge Necessity under Single-Universe Boundary Consistency

Abstract This paper develops Resolution-Gap Indicator and Cost-Bridge Necessity under Single-Universe Boundary Consistency as a bridge-layer account of why cross-resolution advancement cannot be treated as a free descriptive upgrade. Its central claim is that, under one fixed boundary regime, the gap between a current readable energy-scale and a more remote ontic boundary-scale is not an empty interval. It is a structurally taxable bridge-zone. Resolution increase therefore does not deliver source standing; it delivers only deeper readout standing within the projection stratum. The paper introduces a resolution-gap indicator to formalize this relation and argues that any lawful advance across resolution strata…
