Paper VII — Variable Particle Number and Field-Theoretic Extension

Description
This paper generalizes the ordered-dynamics framework to systems with variable particle number, enabling a natural transition to field-theoretic descriptions. Creation and annihilation processes arise from changes in operational record structure rather than from imposed second-quantization rules. The results provide an operational route to quantum field theory within the Ordered-Dynamics Reconstruction Program.
