Redistribution
Definition
Redistribution is the re-expression of a perturbation across the lattice such that no local scale distinction remains.
A perturbation that admits full redistribution is transient.
Redistribution is structural. It is not motion, diffusion, relaxation, energy loss, or physical spreading.
Tier Placement
Primary tier: Tier 1
Role: Structural re-expression
Redistribution belongs to the foundational lattice grammar established in Paper II.
Source
Primary source: Paper II — Lattice, Perturbation, and Persistence
Authority level: Foundational structural
Paper II introduces redistribution as the structural condition under which perturbation ceases to remain locally distinguished.
Function in LMR
Redistribution distinguishes transient perturbation from persistent configuration.
It supports:
- transience
- persistence by contrast
- constraint
- structural minimality
- non-redistribution as persistence
- lattice activity without dynamics
Redistribution defines what it means for a perturbation not to persist.
Allowed Use
Redistribution may be used to describe the structural re-expression of a perturbation across the lattice.
It may be used when distinguishing transient perturbations from persistent configurations.
Prohibited Misuse
Redistribution must not be treated as:
- physical diffusion
- energy dissipation
- thermal relaxation
- wave spreading
- mechanical smoothing
- causal propagation
- dynamical decay
Redistribution is a structural condition, not a physical process.
