uniqueness_implies_stability

formal source

  26/-- In any theory with a unique global minimum (unique cost minimizer),
  27    there is no "lower" vacuum to decay into. Metastability requires
  28    at least two distinct local minima; uniqueness forbids this. -/

  33/-- **E-002 Structural**: The RS inevitability theorem (F-002) establishes
  34    that the framework is unique. Inextricably, the vacuum (zero-defect
  35    state) is the unique minimum. Therefore the vacuum cannot be metastable
  36    — there is no alternative minimum to decay into. -/
