<p dir="ltr">The Six-Dimensional Spiral Theory (SDST) proposes that open, feedback-regulated systems — physical, biological, cognitive, or artificial — emerge and sustain themselves through six irreducible <b>constraint dimensions</b>: space, time, relation, structure, valence, and entropy. Stability arises when oscillatory couplings maintain low effective entropy relative to energy flow; collapse occurs when regulation fails. The spiral represents the minimal geometry through which these interactions can occur, defining the general conditions for dynamic order in complex systems.</p>
