ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT DESCRIPTIVE STRUCTURE IMPLIES PHYSICAL REALITY

Description

This theory is a physics-only eliminative framework that defines physical reality strictly by enforcement. A property, structure, or concept is admitted as physically real only if it enforces motion through force, energy transfer, momentum exchange, or reciprocal back-reaction. Descriptive elements—labels, symmetries, laws, representations, correlations, or summaries—are treated as non-physical unless they themselves impose enforceable constraints. The framework applies a removal test: if a description is removed while all enforcing mechanisms remain and physical evolution is unchanged, the description is not physically real. The result is a disciplined separation between what nature does and how humans describe it, using only established, experimentally validated physics and logical necessity.
