No system can model its own source. Empirical proof: 6 AI architectures (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, Mistral) hit the same structural wall.

Causal Fracture Engine — Novikov self-consistency in simulated universes. 6-file core engine. Paradox detection, classification, resolution.

Research proposing the Threshold Recursive Isomorphism Hypothesis (TRIH): reduction → self-reference → emergence as a structural isomorphism across Escher, Bach, Gödel, and Transformers.

A finite reconstruction program: from one-use contact to the quantum boundary, Born weights, contextuality, the structure of time, the price of irreversibility, and the hosted observer — every result a runnable, dependency-free proof, every claim scoped and labeled.
