 486/-- **Corollary**: Stable existence requires discrete configuration space.

 488    This is the formalization of the key insight:
 489    The cost landscape J forces discreteness because only discrete
 490    configurations can be "trapped" at the unique J-minimum (x = 1).
 491
 492    Note: RSExists_stable x config_space means x has defect 0 and is isolated
 493    from config_space. This doesn't require x ∈ config_space, but in practice
 494    we're interested in cases where x = 1 (the unique defect minimum). -/
