This paper presents the first canon-anchored Cause–Effect Registry of equine locomotion constructed under the Tri-Antagonist Matrix (TAM) framework, formally enumerating Entries 1–15 of a lawful progression of movement degradation in the horse. Contrary to conventional anatomical, biomechanical, and pathological models, this work demonstrates that equine breakdown does not originate at the site of injury, nor does it arise from isolated weakness, asymmetry, or accident. Instead, breakdown emerges through a deterministic, governance-driven sequence in which movement systems remain operational while progressively degrading upstream of pain, pathology, or tissue failure. The fifteen registry entries documented here represent the most recurrent and structurally primary failure chains observed across racehorses, sport horses, and high-load equine tasks. These entries are ordered by relevance and precedence, with Entry 1 representing the earliest detectable governance failure and Entry 15 representing terminal compensation saturation resulting in tissue breakdown. No entry describes a treatment, injury, or diagnosis. Each entry defines a role-level cause paired with a predictable system-level effect, independent of modality, discipline, or anatomical emphasis. The Tri-Antagonist Matrix departs from the traditional agonist–antagonist paradigm by defining a four-role movement architecture composed of the Agonist, Antagonist, Bi-Antagonist, and Tri-Antagonist. These roles govern output, boundary enforcement, phase-dependent polarity switching, and regulatory timing authority. When governance fails at the role level—through timing drift, delayed release, polarity inversion error, reset failure, or boundary dominance—the system compensates lawfully. Performance declines without obvious pathology. Symptoms migrate away from their origin. Symmetry may be preserved at increasing energetic cost. Injury appears only when all compensatory pathways are exhausted. Across Entries 1–15, this registry explains phenomena that existing models cannot resolve, including: <ul> <li> why horses appear sound while efficiency collapses, </li> <li> why compensation precedes injury by weeks or months, </li> <li> why symptoms frequently appear distant from their structural origin, </li> <li> why symmetry can coexist with rapid fatigue, </li> <li> and why breakdown often seems sudden despite extensive warning. </li> </ul> This paper establishes that pathology is a terminal artifact, not a causal mechanism, and that equine movement failure is lawful, ordered, and predictable when viewed through governance rather than anatomy alone. To ensure reproducibility, auditability, and generational continuity, this registry is encoded in ISL — Ingestible Schema Language, a strict, deterministic schema designed to prevent interpretive drift and preserve canonical intent across human and artificial systems. The ISL representation allows the registry to function simultaneously as a scientific exposition and a machine-ingestible structural artifact within the LaFountaine Structural Canon. This work does not propose interventions, therapies, or clinical protocols. Its purpose is structural: to define how equine locomotion degrades while continuing to function, why breakdown is not accidental, and why early warning exists long before injury manifests. Entries 1–15 are sufficient to establish the necessity of a governance-based movement model and the insufficiency of reductionist approaches that begin at pain, pathology, or tissue failure. Subsequent work may extend application, but no additional principles are required to complete the system demonstrated here. The horse does not fail by accident. It fails by law.
