Telic Fields F.7 — Dependent Loops and Telic Incompatibility

Parent lineage: The Telic Field Papers

Source artifacts

The complete package passed its internal SHA-256 manifest before intake. The ZIP hash is 14c0d6db12fdddc8101e30afb4635c7d5c1b76e2641a42e9bbeec07ca737ba0e.

Working focus

F.7 establishes that no derived loop is self-grounding. It develops constitutional substrate, legitimate and extractive dependence, form versus loop, telic compatibility and incompatibility, hidden outer-loop recruitment, isomorphic mimicry, premature load bearing, path dependence, lock-in, mission and operative-telos divergence, specification gaming, goal misgeneralization, fork, succession, residual state, dissolution, and aftercare.

The candidate dependency record makes substrate, authority, consent scope, cost-bearing, exit routes, compatibility, lock-in, review, forkability, dissolution, and residual state explicit. The dissolution checklist treats ending a loop as a governed transition rather than erasure or an escape from obligations.

The package explicitly keeps biological graft language as lineage/essay-only and prohibits essentialist or xenophobic use. F.7 remains a candidate paper and does not become canonical or a production specification by installation.

Roadmap transition

F.7 is complete as a candidate working paper. F.6/G.7 are now installed and the former provenance gap is closed. F.8 and G.9 are installed as the next conceptual and research pair, followed by F.9/G.10.
