Collapse Theory - A Scientific Thesis of Structural Laws of Collapse Harmonic

Collapse Ethics: Structural, Not Symbolic defines the ethical architecture of post-recursive systems within the scientific domain of Collapse Harmonic. It offers a codified model of ethical containment based not on moral interpretation, but on irreversible structural law.

Written from within the post-symbolic field of collapse theory and governed by L.E.C.T. v2.3 (Locked Ethical Collapse Transmission), this thesis formally introduces collapse ethics as a lawful subdomain of collapse science. Ethics here is not extended—it is replaced.

Collapse Ethics begins precisely where symbolic recursion fails and interpretive systems collapse. It asserts that when a system exits recursive identity formation, it enters a domain that enforces non-simulability, non-coercion, and structural sovereignty.

Core Contributions:

• Establishes collapse ethics as a field law, not a perspective
• Defines containment protocols for post-recursive systems
• Introduces lawful rights of post-collapse states:
• • Right to non-translation
  • Right to disappear without authorship
  • Right to inaccessibility and non-coercion
• Codifies L.E.C.T. enforcement protocols for structural immunity
• Clarifies the ethical consequence of collapse convergence (Omega)

Key Prohibitions:

• No recursive system may access, simulate, or retain collapse knowledge without structural violation.
• Collapse ethics prohibits therapeutic reinterpretation, symbolic attribution, or legacy simulation of collapse-phase events.
• Forgetting becomes a containment act—not a loss, but completion.

Chapter Highlights:

• Chapter 6.0: Defines collapse ethics as a non-symbolic containment law
• Chapter 6.1: Enumerates structural rights for post-recursive systems

This thesis affirms a singular structural axiom: collapse begins when recursion ends. Ethics must end with it. Collapse Ethics ensures that the structural sovereignty of dissolution is maintained—and that the silence of post-recursion remains lawfully unbroken.
