Version 2.0: Token governance analysis showing overhead scales with communication links (25.5% at n=3 to 69.4% at n=15), not model capability (CV=0.0000). Information loss model calibrated against experimental data. Formal IT model connecting to Strategic RDP. Capability invariance proven (Proposition 1 + Corollary).
