Thermodynamics as the Unifying Substrate

Thermodynamics establishes the foundational substrate for the Cohesion UFT. The three
Cohesion UFT operators — Surplus, Collapse, and Continuance — map directly onto
the thermodynamic master equation dU = T dS − p dV + A dξ. Version 2 shows that
the Continuance equation under sustained positive affinity generates the funneled-spring
geometry whose torsion dynamics connect the pressure axiom to the golden angle and
the fine-structure constant. This update inserts the Cohesion UFT causal order of the
funneled-spring recursion where the slip event is described. No operator definitions are
altered.
