054_T6.1_Von-Neumann-Chain-Termination

T6.1 — Von Neumann Chain Termination

Chain Position: 54 of 188

Assumes

• [Consciousness](./053_P6.2_Collapse-Generates-Heat]]

Formal Statement

** Measurement chain requires termination; infinite regress impossible.

Enables

• 055_LN6.1_Terminal-Observer-Necessity

Defeat Conditions

• Demonstrate that “Von Neumann Chain: Measurement requires termination” is false, inconsistent, or inapplicable to the claimed domain.
• Reject one of the upstream assumptions (053_P6.2_Collapse-Generates-Heat) to collapse this axiom.

Standard Objections

• Objection: “Von Neumann Chain: Measurement requires termination” is just a re-labeling of the status quo without new grounding.
• Response: Each dependency 053_P6.2_Collapse-Generates-Heat is already defended, so rejecting them would collapse the shared foundation.

Defense Summary

• Von Neumann Chain: Measurement requires termination
• Built on: 053_P6.2_Collapse-Generates-Heat.
• Enables: 055_LN6.1_Terminal-Observer-Necessity.
