This document presents a single structural constraint that provides explanatory compression across mathematics, physics, fluid dynamics, computation, biology, and consciousness. This is not a new physical law, but a recognition that all stable
structures share one property:
They can refer to themselves recursively without accumulating distortion across scales.
This is not metaphor. It is the mathematical condition for existence.
