The mandatory enforcement of physical and metabolic constraints represents a systemic shift in operational reality, defining computational validation against fundamental scientific law (thermodynamics, material stress limits, biogeochemical cycles) as the prerequisite for all critical infrastructure activity. As global industrial processes migrate toward hyper-autonomous management and deep integration into planetary resource flows, the traditional model of 'data integrity' has been superseded by 'operational feasibility.' The resultant utility layer—termed the Physics Governor or Feasibility Layer—is not merely a supervisory AI but an architectural choke point that mathematically models potential physical outcomes before authorizing any energy draw, material movement, or chemical synthesis.
