00 Ground / Invariant
Invariant
Invariant names what remains stable across traversal, revision, application, or scale. Where dependency order names structural precedence, an invariant names what that precedence preserves — the condition that continues to hold despite changes in how the system is read, applied, or extended. An invariant is not permanent or immobile; it names preserved structure. Bounded asymmetry is RM's invariant: it holds across every domain, scale, and application.
Trace
Read
Invariant becomes recognisable where different reads continue to preserve the same dependency structure — where what holds continues to hold regardless of how it is approached.
