contents <p>Verification pipelines fundamentally separate generative components from certification mechanisms. This paper argues that this separation reflects a structural limit on internal certification, not a mere engineering choice. We establish three formal results. First, we prove that no sentential calculus satisfying extensional replacement is sound for boundary-constrained consequence, demonstrating why correctness fails at layer interfaces. Second, the Production-Closure Separation Theorem shows that in expressive systems, closure cannot be realized by finite productive operations. Third, the Measure-Partition Mismatch Theorem shows that probabilistic methods cannot correct ontological misalignment when safety-critical distinctions are absent from the event algebra. We derive the Boundary Discipline Principle and formalize an explicit sealing protocol for layered verification architectures.</p>
