Description

Sci - The Multiplication Principle: Why Any Zero Kills the Product

Armstrong Knight — intent-tensor-theory.com

Multiplicative constraint enforcement is proved to be the physically correct method for computing persistence scores. P_persist = product(C_i) for i=1 to N. If any constraint C_i = 0, the entire product collapses to zero. The principle is demonstrated across the LSF Product of Experts, PICS shell lock, and Layer 9 conversational objecthood. Connection to cymatics: at a nodal point, wave amplitude IS zero — structure exists only where ALL contributing waves are constructive.
