Meta-diagnosis from the wreckage: every broken constant was +DIMENSIONAL (beta, res-gate, amp certificate, dgain=128); everything that transferred was +STRUCTURAL (K-saturation, bsign stability, free-phase=forward) or a MEASUREMENT PROTOCOL +(rho probe, leak instrument). Transferable assets can only take three forms: dimensionless +laws, structural invariants, measurement protocols.
