A01 - Order stability theorem in AI pipeline- Statement: compositional pipelines with high Coh show less semantic degeneracy than formally correct only pipelines.- Dependencies: F03, D03, M12, M13, M28- Protocol: multi-step benchmark on semantic transformation tasks- Metric: Coh, Phi, semantic error, drift- Status: in_proof
A02 - Structural reconstruction theorem from linguistic projections- Utterance: under conditions of controlled addition, it is possible to recover ordering structure from linguistic output better than the classical baseline.- Dependencies: F05, F06, M16, M26- Protocol: text-to-structure inversion test on annotated dataset- Metric: structural fidelity, inter-observer consistency- Status: in_proof
A03 - Degeneration theorem in narrative social systems- Statement: narratively coherent systems but with Phi nothing show predictable control/degradation dynamics.- Dependencies: F08, D02, M28- Protocol: longitudinal analysis of discursive networks- Metric: divergence between rhetorical coherence and emergent function- Status: in_proof

Axiomatic basis:- O1-O7 Layer 1:- F01-F04, F08, F09 Layer 2:- F05-F07, F10 Layer 3:- D01-D05 Layer 4:- A01-A03
6) Closure Criteria Theorem
A theorem passes to validated when it includes:1. formally clean statement;2. verifiable proof sketch;3. limit counterexample;4. test protocol (if applicable);5. expected result + failure criterion.
7) Immediate Executive Priority
Recommended order:1. F03 (coherent compositional closure)2. F08 (minimal non-degeneration)3. F10 (classic recovery)4. D02 (non-productive commutativity)5. A01 (AI pipeline) Reason:- stabilizes the mathematical core,- shows a concrete difference compared to the classic,- immediately opens an experimental validation.
