 434/-- **The Discreteness Forcing Theorem**
 435
 436    For stable existence (RSExists), the configuration space must be discrete.
 437
 438    Proof sketch:
 439    1. RSExists requires defect → 0 (Law of Existence)
 440    2. Defect = 0 only at x = 1 (unique minimum)
 441    3. In a continuous space, x = 1 is not isolated (continuous_space_no_lockIn)
 442    4. Therefore, no configuration can be "locked in" to existence
 443    5. For stable existence, we need discrete configurations
 444
 445    Conclusion: The cost landscape J forces discreteness.
 446    Continuous configuration spaces cannot support stable existence.
 447
 448    Note: The hypothesis includes x > 0 because defect is only meaningful for positive x
 449    (J(x) = (x + 1/x)/2 - 1 requires x ≠ 0, and for x < 0, J(x) < 0 ≠ defect minimum). -/
