| contents | <p>This paper formulates a structural no-go statement on unbounded physical effectiveness.<br>Under minimal and widely accepted assumptions of consistent physical description, such as locality, covariance, and physical finiteness, it is shown that an unbounded counting of physically effective contributions leads to structural inconsistencies, including divergences and loss of robustness in extreme regimes.</p> <p>The work introduces neither new dynamics nor a new physical theory. Instead, it makes explicit a necessary structural constraint that is already implicitly realized in consistent frameworks such as renormalization and effective field theory.</p> <p>This paper constitutes Part I of a three-part series on physical effectiveness and structural consistency. Follow-up papers develop the Effectiveness Principle and apply it to a concrete trans-Planckian consistency test in quantum field theory on curved spacetime.</p> |
