A Preregistered Test of Local Topology in Utility Realization

Building on Phase P₀ verification of Axis I–V substrate stability, we demonstrate for the first time in a recursive substrate that admissibility constraints do not compose independently. When two feasibility gates interact (topological + spectral, or spectral + logical), they create measurable geometric structure: boundaries curve, interaction volumes span 56% of parameter space, and enhancements reach 138% beyond independence predictions.
But here's the twist: this non-additivity vanishes in three dimensions. Systematic predicate relaxation across 259,200 executions shows interaction structure decreases with improved coverage, establishing a fundamental dimensional constraint (n≤2) on admissibility composition.
This finding bounds the phenomenon, preventing speculative overclaiming, and opens new questions about why feasibility geometry operates only in lower dimensions.
Quanta Magazine's recent essay by Natalie Wolchover, "Is Particle Physics Dead, Dying, or Just Hard?", documents a cultural unease—more than a decade after the Higgs discovery, the LHC hasn't revealed new particles, and the field debates whether to build bigger colliders or pivot to other domains.
UNNS turns this cultural diagnosis into a structural prediction:
The absence of new stable signatures isn't experimental failure—it's positive evidence of projection saturation.

Thesis: Emergence theory is rich at the Ω-level (patterns, statistics, causal metrics), but often leaves "forbiddenness" implicit. The UNNS Substrate makes forbiddenness explicit via τ-level admissibility, and the Axis I–V chain shows why this step is forced.
Utility emergence is not explained by structure, statistics, or optimization, but is gated by multiple irreducible global feasibility constraints that operate prior to dynamics.
