  • <p>This paper presents a unified formal framework for quantifying structural compression in complex adaptive systems. It introduces a decoupled formulation that distinguishes structural rigidity (R) from adaptive processing capacity (Φ), enabling independent measurement of both variables.</p> <p> </p> <p>A normalized tension ratio T = R / Φ is derived and formal stability conditions are defined to identify thresholds of compression-induced instability. Directional extensions allow anisotropic analysis across system dimensions, and a minimal operational protocol demonstrates empirical tractability.</p> <p> </p> <p>The framework provides a mathematically consistent and scalable early-warning indicator for adaptive capacity erosion in governance, financial, technological, and ecological systems. Supplementary technical derivations and exploratory notes are available in the author’s archive.</p>
