TITLE: PERSISTENCE-FIRST SUPERINTELLIGENCE
[[EQ:eq0001]]

Three theorems close the axiom [[EQ:eq0028]] function chain: PF-1 (persistence [[EQ:eq0029]] positive capacity lower bound via robust margin [[EQ:eq0030]] prox-regularity [[EQ:eq0031]] positive reach [[EQ:eq0032]] inner ball [[EQ:eq0033]] covering lower bound) [5--8]; PF-2 (freedom + certified self-edits [[EQ:eq0034]] bounded-drift self-transcendence and finite MTTR) with explicit dependence on [[EQ:eq0035]] [1]; PF-3 (causal audit [[EQ:eq0036]] survival-risk ceiling [[EQ:eq0037]] ) with Lipschitz survival-loss constant [[EQ:eq0038]] and linear [[EQ:eq0039]] -sensitivity under partial interference [23, 24]. The endogenous objective [[EQ:eq0040]] obtained by minimax survival-regret is equivalent to maximizing survival-capacity per unit irreversible work at an auditability-constrained physical scale, via Sion’s minimax theorem [22] and information-thermodynamic accounting [19--21]. Pathologies (MI blow-up, covariance degeneracy, selection measurability, coarse-graining degeneracy) are sealed by absolute continuity + clipping for MI [16--18], Tikhonov regularization [5, 6], explicit KRN conditions [12--14], and a monotone auditability lower charge for coarse-graining [19--21]. The paper is theory-only; complete proofs, admissible rates, and solver/audit logs are included in the Appendices.

SECTION: Dialectical Closure (Objection [[EQ:eq0041]]

-> Synthesis)
[leftmargin=1.2em]
- Geometry. [[EQ:eq0042]] either lies in a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold (bounded curvature) or is a bounded closed subset with finite Assouad/doubling dimension; for PF-1 it suffices that each [[EQ:eq0043]] is locally doubling with uniform constants (A8 [[EQ:eq0044]] ). This corrects the false inference ``bounded Hilbert subset [[EQ:eq0045]] doubling'' [5--8, 25].
- AGS \& MTTR. With lsc and local geodesic [[EQ:eq0046]] -convexity, AGS curves of maximal slope exist on [[EQ:eq0047]] ; EDI yields MTTR [1].
- Regime-B uniformity. Carathéodory, separability, ULLN, and KRN measurable selection give uniform [[EQ:eq0048]] deviation over [[EQ:eq0049]] [9--14].
- SOCP robustness. Clarke generalized Jacobians give [[EQ:eq0050]] residuals; an online dictionary stopping rule (dual-gap + certified margin) ensures auditability [5--7].
- PF-1 uniformity. Constants are upper semicontinuous and uniformly bounded on a compact neighborhood (A1 [[EQ:eq0051]] ); [[EQ:eq0052]] are uniform.
- PF-2 seam-rate. A supervisory [[EQ:eq0053]] caps seams per unit time.
- PF-3 exposure identifiability. Observable sufficiency for exposure classes under partial interference is stated [23, 24].
- Endogenous objective. We restate [[EQ:eq0054]] and a strictly positive denominator, completing the ratio equivalence [22].
- DV-tempered MI. Absolute continuity [[EQ:eq0055]] , finite clipping [[EQ:eq0056]] , and simultaneous-limit rates [[EQ:eq0057]] , [[EQ:eq0058]] are given [16--18].

SECTION: Notation

[leftmargin=1.2em]
- Belief geometry: Polish [[EQ:eq0059]] with metric [[EQ:eq0060]] (diameter 1). [[EQ:eq0061]] : Borel probabilities. [[EQ:eq0062]] : 1-Wasserstein [1].
- RKHS: bounded [[EQ:eq0063]] kernel [[EQ:eq0064]] over [[EQ:eq0065]] ; RKHS [[EQ:eq0066]] ; mean embedding [[EQ:eq0067]] .
- Barrier functional: [[EQ:eq0068]] for [[EQ:eq0069]] ; we write [[EQ:eq0070]] only when evaluating at belief [[EQ:eq0071]] . Metric slope [[EQ:eq0072]] in the AGS sense [1].
- Target set for MTTR (A in Prop.\ 3.3): [[EQ:eq0073]] is the goal/safe-recovery set on which [[EQ:eq0074]] attains its infimum (or equals its lower bound).
- Dual norm (used in Regime-A and 5):

[[EQ:eq0002]]

- Design/safety constants in 5/ 6:
[[EQ:eq0075]] : extended class- [[EQ:eq0076]] (continuous, strictly increasing, [[EQ:eq0077]] );
[[EQ:eq0078]] : safety slack from identification radius [[EQ:eq0079]] and audit tolerance [[EQ:eq0080]] ;
[[EQ:eq0081]] : safety back-off (design margin).
In (6.1),
[[EQ:eq0082]] — Lipschitz bound of the linearized input dynamics in the barrier direction;
[[EQ:eq0083]] — risk-map (nested-CVaR with smoothing) gradient-sensitivity bound;
[[EQ:eq0084]] — physics-constraint gradient-sensitivity bound.
- Perturbations [[EQ:eq0085]] in 5: [[EQ:eq0086]] denotes an additive transition-model perturbation/identification error evaluated in the BL-IPM dual norm (1.N), i.e., [[EQ:eq0087]] .
- Identification symbols in 4:
[[EQ:eq0088]] : true and learned belief-vector fields (first-moment “barrier-direction” drift induced by [[EQ:eq0089]] and [[EQ:eq0090]] );
[[EQ:eq0091]] : BL-test class with RKHS norm bounded by [[EQ:eq0092]] ;
[[EQ:eq0093]] : empirical BL-IPM estimator.
- SWEI symbols in 9: [[EQ:eq0094]] denotes the identity operator, while [[EQ:eq0095]] denotes the audit indicator vector; projection uses [[EQ:eq0096]] and [[EQ:eq0097]] .
- Quantile operator in 9: [[EQ:eq0098]] denotes the empirical [[EQ:eq0099]] -quantile over the sliding time window.
- Default norms: plain [[EQ:eq0100]] = [[EQ:eq0101]] norm; [[EQ:eq0102]] = Euclidean; [[EQ:eq0103]] = BL-IPM dual.

SECTION: Assumptions (Explicit, Final)

1.5
0 (Viability witness). For each [[EQ:eq0104]] , there exists [[EQ:eq0105]] satisfying the robust-margin inequality locally (Nagumo viability or a Slater point), hence [[EQ:eq0106]] .

1 (Base geometry). [[EQ:eq0107]] Polish; beliefs in [[EQ:eq0108]] [1].

1 [[EQ:eq0109]] (Closedness \& relative compactness). [[EQ:eq0110]] is closed and has a tight neighborhood (Prokhorov), hence relatively compact.

2 (Kernel coupling). Bounded [[EQ:eq0111]] [[EQ:eq0112]] with [[EQ:eq0113]] ; KR duality implies [[EQ:eq0114]] [9].

2 [[EQ:eq0115]] (AGS potential). [[EQ:eq0116]] is lsc, bounded below, and locally geodesically [[EQ:eq0117]] -convex on [[EQ:eq0118]] (curves of maximal slope; EDI) [1].

3 (Detectability). Near [[EQ:eq0119]] , [[EQ:eq0120]] ; under contamination [[EQ:eq0121]] the constant contracts to [[EQ:eq0122]] [18].

4 (Filtering). Local [[EQ:eq0123]] -Lipschitz Bayes operator with constant [[EQ:eq0124]] and Dobrushin [[EQ:eq0125]] near [[EQ:eq0126]] .

5 (Risk). Nested-CVaR with Quantile–Huber width [[EQ:eq0127]] yields differentiability and controlled gradient bias [17].

6 (Regime-B identification). BL-IPM class is Carathéodory in [[EQ:eq0128]] , separable, admits ULLN, and all required measurable selections satisfy KRN (nonempty, closed-valued, values in a separable Polish space) [10--14].

7 (Regime-A alternative). [[EQ:eq0129]] .

8 [[EQ:eq0130]] (Action-space complexity; corrected). Either
(i) [[EQ:eq0131]] is a compact subset of a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold (bounded curvature), or
(ii) [[EQ:eq0132]] is a bounded closed subset with finite Assouad/doubling dimension [[EQ:eq0133]] .
For PF-1 it suffices that each [[EQ:eq0134]] is locally doubling with constants [[EQ:eq0135]] independent of [[EQ:eq0136]] . Fix an [[EQ:eq0137]] -floor [[EQ:eq0138]] .

9 (Self-edit atlas). Seams are bi-Lipschitz (distortion [[EQ:eq0139]] ); homotopies [[EQ:eq0140]] are Lipschitz; seam frequency is capped by [[EQ:eq0141]] .

10 (Audit model). Partial interference; instruments boundedly invalid ( [[EQ:eq0142]] ); exposure classes are observable under graph-radius stratification and instrument conditions [23, 24]; survival-loss is Lipschitz in feasibility erosion.

With [[EQ:eq0148]] , [[EQ:eq0149]] [1].

[AGS existence, EDI, MTTR]
Under A2 [[EQ:eq0150]] , [[EQ:eq0151]] admits curves of maximal slope; the EDI yields

[[EQ:eq0004]]

where [[EQ:eq0152]] is the goal/safe-recovery set on which [[EQ:eq0153]] attains its infimum (or equals its lower bound). [1]

SECTION: Learn-to-Set Identification and Uniform Deviation

SUBSECTION: Regime A (Uniform [[EQ:eq0154]] bound)

If [[EQ:eq0155]] , then [[EQ:eq0156]] by the local [[EQ:eq0157]] -Lipschitz Bayes map (A4) and the dual norm (1.N).

SUBSECTION: Regime B (BL-IPM + measurability + ULLN + covering)

Let [[EQ:eq0158]] be an [[EQ:eq0159]] -cover of [[EQ:eq0160]] . With Carathéodory dependence, separable classes, empirical-process bounds (Dudley; van der Vaart \& Wellner), and a union bound over [[EQ:eq0161]] , plus KRN selections (nonempty, closed-valued, separable-Polish values), we obtain:

[Uniform deviation]
With probability [[EQ:eq0162]] ,

[[EQ:eq0005]]

Choosing [[EQ:eq0163]] yields uniform [[EQ:eq0164]] [10, 11, 12--14].

[Uniform [[EQ:eq0165]] ]
Evaluate [[EQ:eq0166]] at cover centers and extend uniformly using KRN; continuity of [[EQ:eq0167]] gives a uniform bound.

SECTION: Robust Barriers [[EQ:eq0168]]

=> SOCP with Clarke-Robust Linearization
We enforce, under uncertainty [[EQ:eq0169]] where [[EQ:eq0170]] is an additive transition-model perturbation measured in the BL-IPM dual norm (1.N),

[[EQ:eq0006]]

with [[EQ:eq0171]] class- [[EQ:eq0172]] , [[EQ:eq0173]] the identification/audit slack, and [[EQ:eq0174]] a safety back-off.

Linearize [[EQ:eq0175]] for [[EQ:eq0176]] . Represent [[EQ:eq0177]] in a dictionary [[EQ:eq0178]] (App.\ C.2 whitening). The SOCP [3, 4]:

[Strong duality \& uniqueness]
With Slater, [[EQ:eq0179]] , and LICQ/MFCQ, zero duality gap and unique primal/dual hold [3, 5--7].

PARAGRAPH: Clarke linearization.

For [[EQ:eq0180]] , a generalized Taylor bound gives [[EQ:eq0181]] [5, 6].

[[EQ:eq0009]]

[Robust margin [[EQ:eq0185]] prox-regular [[EQ:eq0186]] positive reach]
Under A0--A6, A8 [[EQ:eq0187]] and (5.2), each slice [[EQ:eq0188]] is prox-regular with reach [[EQ:eq0189]] bounded by

[[EQ:eq0010]]

(Federer; Clarke--Poliquin--Rockafellar; local Riemann charts or Hilbert variants) [5--8, 25].

PARAGRAPH: Uniformity (A1 [[EQ:eq0190]] ).

Denominator terms are upper semicontinuous in [[EQ:eq0191]] and bounded on a compact neighborhood of [[EQ:eq0192]] ; thus [[EQ:eq0193]] has a uniform positive lower bound (App.\ B.3).

[Inner ball [[EQ:eq0194]] doubling covering]
For [[EQ:eq0195]] and (local) doubling with uniform [[EQ:eq0196]] ,

[[EQ:eq0011]]

[PF-1]
There exist [[EQ:eq0197]] and [[EQ:eq0198]] such that

[[EQ:eq0012]]

hence [[EQ:eq0199]] . Boundary measure-zero is handled by KRN measurable selections [12--14].

PARAGRAPH: Finite- [[EQ:eq0200]] corollary.

If [[EQ:eq0201]] is finite, PF-1 reduces to a uniform lower bound on [[EQ:eq0202]] .

SECTION: Time-Consistent Risk and Total Gradient Bias

Nested-CVaR with Quantile--Huber smoothing [[EQ:eq0203]] yields

[[EQ:eq0013]]

This combines with DV-tempered MI bias ( 11) to give a total gradient-bias bound.

SECTION: Self-Edits as a 2-Category and PF-2

Self-edits are 1-morphisms in [[EQ:eq0204]] on program-state objects [[EQ:eq0205]] ; interfaces form a groupoid [[EQ:eq0206]] with contract-equivalence (API/signature). With [[EQ:eq0207]] (A2 [[EQ:eq0208]] ), AGS gives [[EQ:eq0209]] and EDI [1].
Seam lemma. Bi-Lipschitz seams [[EQ:eq0210]] (distortion [[EQ:eq0211]] ) and Lipschitz homotopies [[EQ:eq0212]] bound per-seam invariant change [[EQ:eq0213]] .
Edit drift. If [[EQ:eq0214]] (or summable), total drift [[EQ:eq0215]] .

SECTION: Causal Audit (SWEI), Degeneracy Handling, and PF-3

Let [[EQ:eq0217]] be cooperative-value features with covariance [[EQ:eq0218]] . To handle degeneracy, set [[EQ:eq0219]] and projector [[EQ:eq0220]] under inner product [[EQ:eq0221]] ; define the audit indicator projection

[[EQ:eq0015]]

where [[EQ:eq0222]] is the identity operator (used implicitly in projector definitions). As [[EQ:eq0223]] , stability follows (Moore--Penrose) [5, 6].

PARAGRAPH: Exposure identifiability.

Under partial interference, exposure classes are observable if (i) the interference graph has known radius [[EQ:eq0226]] ; (ii) stratification respects [[EQ:eq0227]] -neighborhoods; (iii) instruments meet relevance/exogeneity up to tolerance [[EQ:eq0228]] [23, 24].

Define minimax survival-regret:

[[EQ:eq0020]]

[[EQ:eq0240]] is convex/compact in the epi-topology; [[EQ:eq0241]] weakly compact/convex; the regret is convex in [[EQ:eq0242]] , concave in [[EQ:eq0243]] , and suitably continuous [[EQ:eq0244]] Sion’s theorem applies [22].

[[EQ:eq0023]]

With [[EQ:eq0251]] and clipping [[EQ:eq0252]] , [[EQ:eq0253]] is USC and epi-converges to MI as [[EQ:eq0254]] [16--18].

PARAGRAPH: Total gradient-bias.

[[EQ:eq0024]]

SECTION: Physics Binding Beyond 300 K and Quantum Scaling

We endogenize [[EQ:eq0262]] subject to auditability and a no-double-count priority (erase [[EQ:eq0263]] sync [[EQ:eq0264]] branch [[EQ:eq0265]] comm) [19--21]. For quantum substrates (surface codes), synchronization/communication scale as [[EQ:eq0266]] in code distance [[EQ:eq0267]] , contributing to [[EQ:eq0268]] (App.\ H.3).

SECTION: Relation to Free-Energy / Active-Inference

Unlike FEP/active-inference, we do not posit an external variational objective. [[EQ:eq0269]] is derived by minimax survival-regret and is equivalent to maximizing capacity per physical cost. The chain PF-1 [[EQ:eq0270]] PF-2 [[EQ:eq0271]] PF-3 replaces desiderata with viability-implied capacity, certified edits, and audit-priced responsibility [1--4, 17, 19--21].

SECTION: Falsifiability \& Stress Tests (Internal)

[leftmargin=1.2em]
- Reach collapse. Increase curvature toward a cusp; verify [[EQ:eq0272]] if [[EQ:eq0273]] (App.\ B.1). (For finite [[EQ:eq0274]] , PF-1 reduces to a uniform lower bound on [[EQ:eq0275]] .)
- Regime-B uniformity. Vary cover granularity; confirm the [[EQ:eq0276]] trade-off in (4.1).
- Linearization radius. Increase [[EQ:eq0277]] until [[EQ:eq0278]] crosses the certified margin; check the stopping rule (App.\ C.4).
- Audit blunting. Increase [[EQ:eq0279]] ; observe [[EQ:eq0280]] deterioration and floor policy (9.2).
- Coarse-graining degeneracy. Coarsen [[EQ:eq0281]] ; ratio cannot increase due to monotone [[EQ:eq0282]] (App.\ H.1).

SECTION: Limitations

Detectability may be adversary-fragile [[EQ:eq0283]] . Set-identification widens for large [[EQ:eq0284]] . Seam constants require certification. DV-tempered MI adds controlled bias (11.2). Theory-only; audits/benchmarks are specified but not executed.

SECTION: Conclusion

From persist, we derive: PF-1 non-vanishing freedom capacity; PF-2 bounded-drift self-transcendence; PF-3 audited survival-risk ceilings. The objective [[EQ:eq0285]] and physics parameters are endogenized. The theory is closed, quantified, auditable—a single-axiom foundation for free, self-transcending, endogenously responsible superintelligence.

SECTION: RKHS-- [[EQ:eq0286]]

W1; Measurability \& ULLN (with KRN conditions)

SUBSECTION: A.1 BL--RKHS--Wasserstein details

For bounded [[EQ:eq0287]] [[EQ:eq0288]] , [[EQ:eq0289]] ; KR duality yields Prop.\ 3.1 [9]. Definition of constants:

[[EQ:eq0025]]

SUBSECTION: A.2 Measurability and selections (KRN; with [[EQ:eq0290]] measurability)

Constraint maps are continuous in [[EQ:eq0291]] , hence the admissible-action multifunction [[EQ:eq0292]] is closed-valued with a measurable graph; therefore Kuratowski--Ryll-Nardzewski applies (values nonempty, closed-valued in a separable Polish space) and measurable selections exist [12]. Auxiliary tools: Castaing--Valadier [13] and Kechris [14].

SUBSECTION: A.3 Uniform [[EQ:eq0293]]

Continuity of [[EQ:eq0294]] and compact covers imply a uniform bound; extend from cover centers using KRN (Lemma 4.2).

SUBSECTION: A.4 ULLN

With separability and Carathéodory dependence, empirical-process bounds (Dudley; van der Vaart \& Wellner) control the empirical BL-IPM gap; union bound over [[EQ:eq0295]] yields (4.1) [10, 11].

SECTION: PF-1: Margin [[EQ:eq0296]]

=> Positive Reach [[EQ:eq0297]] => Capacity

SUBSECTION: B.1 Positive reach via prox-regularity (Riemann/Hilbert)

In a Riemann chart (bounded curvature), robust separation yields prox-regularity and unique metric projection; Federer’s positive reach follows with bound (6.1). Hilbert-space variants apply in the Hilbert case [5--8, 25]. Note. Curvature enters constants via normal coordinates; the reach bound remains positive for positive true margin.

SUBSECTION: B.2 Doubling covering bound

For any set with inner-ball radius [[EQ:eq0298]] and [[EQ:eq0299]] , (local) doubling with uniform [[EQ:eq0300]] yields (6.2) [8].

SUBSECTION: B.3 Uniformity over [[EQ:eq0301]] (uses A1 [[EQ:eq0302]] )

Denominator terms in (6.1) are upper semicontinuous in [[EQ:eq0303]] and bounded on a compact neighborhood of [[EQ:eq0304]] ; hence uniform [[EQ:eq0305]] .

SECTION: SOCP Duality, Whitening Dictionary, Clarke Linearization, Logs

SUBSECTION: C.1 Duality \& uniqueness

Slater feasibility, coercivity ( [[EQ:eq0306]] ), and LICQ/MFCQ provide zero duality gap and unique multipliers [3, 5--7].

SUBSECTION: C.2 Whitening dictionary (orthogonalization)

Let [[EQ:eq0307]] and [[EQ:eq0308]] . Take a Cholesky [[EQ:eq0309]] and define whitened coefficients

[[EQ:eq0026]]

Thus the SOCP constraint [[EQ:eq0310]] is exactly the RKHS norm of the projected gradient; no [[EQ:eq0311]] ambiguity.

SUBSECTION: C.3 Clarke-robust linearization

For [[EQ:eq0312]] (compact, convex, outer semicontinuous), generalized Taylor estimates yield [[EQ:eq0313]] uniformly [5, 6].

SUBSECTION: C.4 Solver/audit log (table)

Columns: iter, dual-gap, [[EQ:eq0314]] , [[EQ:eq0315]] , [[EQ:eq0316]] , certified margin, active-set rank, LICQ flag, [[EQ:eq0317]] , [[EQ:eq0318]] . Stop when dual-gap [[EQ:eq0319]] and certified margin [[EQ:eq0320]] .

SECTION: Risk \& DV-Tempered MI

SUBSECTION: D.1 CVaR gradient bias

Quantile--Huber smoothing width [[EQ:eq0321]] yields per-stage bias [[EQ:eq0322]] ; sum over [[EQ:eq0323]] [17].

SUBSECTION: D.2 Simultaneous limits \& example rates

With sieve dimension [[EQ:eq0324]] , pick [[EQ:eq0325]] ( [[EQ:eq0326]] ) and [[EQ:eq0327]] ; then [[EQ:eq0328]] and [[EQ:eq0329]] . (11.2) follows [16--18].

SUBSECTION: D.3 USC \& epi-convergence; absolute continuity

Enforce [[EQ:eq0330]] ; with clipping [[EQ:eq0331]] , [[EQ:eq0332]] is USC and epi-converges to MI as [[EQ:eq0333]] [16--18].

SECTION: PF-2: AGS, Seam Lemma, Audit-Equivalence

SUBSECTION: E.1 AGS \& EDI

With lsc and [[EQ:eq0334]] -convexity, curves of maximal slope exist; EDI yields MTTR (8.1) [1].

SUBSECTION: E.2 Seam lemma \& contract-equivalence

Bi-Lipschitz seams ( [[EQ:eq0335]] ) and homotopies ( [[EQ:eq0336]] ) bound per-seam drift; audit verifies contract-equivalence via API signatures and pre/postconditions.

SUBSECTION: E.3 PF-2 proof

Sum per-seam contributions [[EQ:eq0337]] and geometric drifts [[EQ:eq0338]] ; apply EDI for MTTR.

SECTION: PF-3: Exposure Identifiability, Lipschitz Constant, Dual Prices

SUBSECTION: F.0 Shapley axioms under projection

Efficiency/symmetry are preserved on exposure-symmetry classes using the [[EQ:eq0339]] inner product [5, 6].

SUBSECTION: F.1 Exposure identifiability (observable sufficiency)

If outcomes depend on actions within graph-radius [[EQ:eq0340]] and stratification respects [[EQ:eq0341]] -neighborhoods, exposure classes are observable; instruments satisfy relevance/exogeneity up to tolerance [[EQ:eq0342]] [23, 24].

SUBSECTION: F.2 LP/SDP programs \& multiplicity

Moment inequalities define feasible sets; Holm-FWER default; Romano--Wolf option [23, 24].

SUBSECTION: F.3 Deriving [[EQ:eq0343]]

Barrier sensitivity gives feasibility erosion per unit gradient; thickness converts margin to inner radius; projection contraction [[EQ:eq0344]] yields (9.1).

SUBSECTION: F.4 PF-3 proof

Dual pricing with (9.1) gives [[EQ:eq0345]] .

SUBSECTION: F.5 [[EQ:eq0346]] -sensitivity

[[EQ:eq0347]] ; recommend audit floor [[EQ:eq0348]] .

SECTION: Minimax Existence \& Ratio Equivalence

SUBSECTION: G.1 Sion’s theorem

[[EQ:eq0349]] convex/compact (epi); [[EQ:eq0350]] weakly compact/convex; regret convex in [[EQ:eq0351]] , concave in [[EQ:eq0352]] ; continuity suffices for Sion [22].

SUBSECTION: G.2 Monotone transform

The ratio [[EQ:eq0353]] is order-preserving under positive scaling; minimax regret and [[EQ:eq0354]] share arg-sets (10.1).

SECTION: Auditability-Constrained Coarse-Graining; Bounds \& Quantum Notes

SUBSECTION: H.1 Auditability constraints

[[EQ:eq0355]] must permit audit statistics and define a monotone lower charge [[EQ:eq0356]] (data-processing) [19--21]; hence extreme coarse-graining cannot improve the ratio.

\begin{abstract}
From the \emph{single axiom of persistence}---remain within survivable regimes—we derive, without external meta-constraints, (i) \emph{freedom} as non-vanishing action capacity ($\varepsilon$-covering lower bounds), (ii) \emph{identity-safe self-transcendence} via certified self-edits with bounded drift and finite MTTR using metric-slope (AGS) gradient-flow theory [1], and (iii) \emph{endogenous responsibility} via a causal-audit contract (SWEI) that yields explicit survival-risk ceilings under partial interference [23, 24]. The analysis unifies a single RKHS on the state space with belief geometry $\big(P(X),\Wone\big)$, Clarke nonsmooth calculus [5, 6], and a robust-barrier reduction to SOCP under Slater/LICQ/MFCQ [3, 5--7]. Identification is provided by (A) a uniform $\Wone$ deviation bound over controlled transitions, and (B) BL-IPM training with Carathéodory dependence, separability, ULLN, and KRN measurable selection, producing a uniform deviation radius over $(x,u)$ [9--14]. Margin erosion from RKHS dictionary approximation and Clarke linearization decouples as
\[
\text{margin}_{\text{true}}
\ \ge\
\text{margin}_{\text{SOCP}}
-\underbrace{c_{\kappa}\,\epsilon_{\text{dict}}}_{\text{dictionary}}
-\underbrace{c_{\text{lin}}\rho^{2}}_{\text{linearization}}.
