Paton System — Cognitive Clarifications (Series II)

This paper presents the second series of cognitive clarifications within the Paton System, extending the structural interpretation of admissibility into constraint behaviour, boundary recognition, and system stability. These clarifications do not introduce new laws but refine the operational understanding of how systems persist, destabilise, and terminate under accumulated constraint. The work formalises key interpretive conditions, including constraint accumulation as the precursor to collapse, the distinction between admissible regions and observable states, and the requirement of admissible recovery paths for persistence. Collapse is defined not as an event but as the structural realisation of exceeded compatibility, consistent with the Constraint–Incompatibility Collapse Law (CICL). The paper strengthens the interpretive stability of admissibility across domains and positions these clarifications as a Tier-6 structural layer within the Paton System.
