Freedom, Drift, and Renewal: Long-Horizon Constraint Geometry in Informational Ontology
In production (complete)A long-horizon account of how freedom, sedimentation, fragility, and renewal interact across time.
Function in corpus
Long-horizon synthesis paper for the dynamics arc. It links agency to sedimentation and drift, and helps explain why restoration and renewal are different structural tasks.
Details
Connected papers: Agency, Salience, and Free Will; Invariant Drift and Sedimentation: Identity Continuity Under Boundary Evolution; Accumulation Without Teleology: Constraint Sedimentation Across Lineage; Restoration Geometry Building on free-resolution and invariant drift, the paper studies how repeated resolutions reshape future possibility spaces. Freedom is not a static stock but part of a changing geometry: it can contract, sediment, and sometimes renew. The paper therefore tracks the temporal life of openness rather than treating it as a fixed condition.
