The Logic Behind the Dressing: A Structural Clarification within the Paton System

Scientific explanations often accumulate descriptive layers that obscure the simpler structural conditions governing whether a system can persist. This short note clarifies a principle implicit within the Paton System: explanatory narratives function as interpretive layers placed upon underlying constraint structures. System continuation is determined not by descriptive explanation but by constraint compatibility. The note distinguishes explanatory language from the structural conditions governing admissibility and persistence and introduces the “Logic Behind the Dressing” principle as a concise interpretive rule within the Paton System framework.
