It shows that unless independent admissible redescriptions converge on the same referent, reference collapses into ambiguity or indeterminacy, regardless of internal coherence or empirical fit. Non-confluent systems are shown, by exhaustion, to permit drift, equivocation, or post-hoc stabilization, all of which violate admissibility. The result fixes confluence as a structural requirement for meaningful reference rather than a methodological preference. No algorithms, convergence procedures, or implementation guidance are given; the argument is necessity-based and eliminative.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> </div> <div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> </div>
