  • <p>We present HC-2.x, a formal calculus in which systems are defined by state space, dynamics, and non-reconstructible history. Experience is modeled as a sequence of structure-preserving embeddings, and harm as the loss incurred during embedding. Irreversibility is defined as the absence of any low-loss embedding, implying unbounded harm.</p> <p>The framework connects embedding dynamics to information-theoretic divergence, dynamical systems (via approximate conjugacy), and category-theoretic structure preservation. It yields a constrained optimization principle in which generative expansion is permitted only under non-collapse conditions. This formalism enables quantitative analysis of persistence, transformation, and ethical constraint across biological and artificial systems.</p>
