| contents | <p>Filtration Theory characterises persistent systems as those that maintain structure by<br>selectively constraining entropy while exporting disorder across boundaries. While the formal framework establishes filtration abstractly, ambiguity remains concerning the nature of<br>boundaries, the role of mechanisms, the treatment of abstraction, and the status of logic and<br>mathematics. This paper resolves these ambiguities by clarifying that boundaries are operational loci of constraint implemented through mechanisms, that systems are constituted<br>by networks of such mechanisms, and that systemhood is relative to level of description.<br>We show that systems may function as carriers at higher levels while remaining systems at<br>their own level, that abstract structures participate only when instantiated, and that interaction, not isolation, is the necessary condition for persistence and evolution. Logic is shown<br>to function a saninter-relational filtration layer fed by upstream systems, whose outputs<br>are formalised by mathematics. Withtheseclarifications, Filtration Theory accounts for<br>all instantiated systems, physical, biological, cognitive, social,andformal,whileexcluding<br>purelydescriptive abstractions and non-operational cases. The framework is there by closed<br>without overreach.</p> |
