  • <p>This paper examines the status of free parameters in admissible descriptions and argues that <strong>parameter freedom is structurally constrained by standing preservation</strong>, rather than being an unconstrained modeling choice. The analysis is eliminative and conditional, operating entirely at the representation level.</p> <p>Retaining locality, consistency under admissible re-description, and absence of hidden global coordination, the paper asks whether parameters can be introduced arbitrarily without destabilizing standing. It shows that unconstrained parameter freedom functions as a form of representational redundancy: parameters that are not regulated by admissibility conditions either collapse equivalence under re-description, introduce privileged representations, or require nonlocal coordination to enforce compatibility.</p> <p>Through this analysis, the paper eliminates the possibility that parameters can be freely varied without structural consequence. Parameters must instead satisfy admissibility conditions that regulate how they enter and transform under re-description. This result does not fix parameter values, does not assert uniqueness, and does not claim that all parameters are eliminable. It isolates only the boundary condition: <strong>arbitrary parameterization is incompatible with standing preservation under the retained constraints</strong>.</p> <p>No dynamics are proposed, no empirical fitting is invoked, and no closure or exhaustion claims are made. The paper establishes a single local result: parameter admissibility is constrained by representational stability requirements, independent of model-specific assumptions.</p>
