Distinction and arithmetic

Numbers operate only inside a declared structure. D1 owns distinction, arithmetic, inversion, limits, and type-correct boundary behavior. Division by zero remains undefined in a field; mapping to a projective pole changes the structure and must be named.

Inherited structure

Field axioms, directional limits, inversion, logarithms, and projective extension are inherited mathematics [A].

Claim boundary

A limit toward infinity is not a field quotient by zero, and projective infinity is not an ordinary real number. The energy well drawn here is E(x) = (log x) squared, which is machine-checked: it is zero only at x = 1 and strictly positive elsewhere, and it is unchanged under x to 1/x.

Configuration aperture

Saturation proposal
One-dimensional values and limits cease to display relations among many inputs, outputs, and charts economically.
New capability
Functions, graphs, relations, atlases, and geometry become explicit configurations.
Lower-level recovery
Every D2 configuration must recover valid D1 values and operations on its declared domain.
Evidence
[S/I] formal example; not proof of universal emergence
Prediction
A configuration representation should make some D1 limit behavior finite and inspectable without changing the underlying arithmetic result.
Alternatives
The added representation may be a convenience, compression, or definitional extension rather than an ontic emergence.
Kill criterion
If the proposed D2 representation adds no relational capability or fails to recover its D1 values, this crossing fails.
