The Constraint Sequence and the Handover Boundary

The right build order prevents sophisticated capabilities from collapsing before their foundations exist. This article derives the prerequisite graph, constraint migration, and phase gate framework for sequencing autonomic edge capabilities — then formalizes five handover constructs: predictive triggering for cognitive inertia, asymmetric trust dynamics, Merkle-gated command validation, semantic compression against alert fatigue, and the L0 physical interlock that no autonomic loop can override.

The Constraint Sequence Framework

A synthesis of Theory of Constraints, causal inference, reliability engineering, and second-order cybernetics into a unified methodology for engineering systems under resource constraints. The framework provides formal constraint identification, causal validation protocols, investment thresholds, dependency ordering, and explicit stopping criteria. Unlike existing methodologies, it includes the meta-constraint: the optimization workflow itself competes for the same resources as the system being optimized.
