Where this is documented

ISST.md 6.2, 6.4

This is an auto-summary of the canon entry. The full derivation lives in the referenced section of the lab's manuscript and working notes; a hand-enriched page may be added here in a later pass.

What would prove this wrong

Kill conditions

Per-problem kill conditions are recorded with each derivation in the ISST manuscript. The site-wide kill conditions (right-hand sidebar) cover the framework-level commitments that, if violated, would invalidate all DISSOLVED and PARTIAL claims simultaneously.
