“The Limit-State Regime: Latency-Limited Persistence in the Thorium-232 → Lead-208 Decay Series”
This paper introduces the Resolution–Transport Ratio (R):
R = τ_transport / τ_resolution
The core result is simple:
Identical boundaries can behave as effectively open or closed depending on whether transport or stochastic resolution completes first.
Using the Thoron vs Radon-222 comparison, the paper proposes that effective permeability is governed not solely by material structure, but by competing timescales.
This establishes the “limit-state regime” of the Boundary-Filtered Persistence Framework (BFPF).
Persistence becomes a measurable competition between clocks.
