CPD Paper 6: Q-Dominated Systems — Active, Feedback-Driven Dynamics That Reshape Capacity and Packing
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Q-dominated systems are those in which geometric flux Q—the structured, feedback-amplifyingtransformation of state space—is the primary driver of macroscopic behavior. Unlike C- or P dominatedregimes, Q dominance is not symmetric: Q does not merely respond to the geometry of thecapacity–packing landscape, but actively reshapes it. A Q-driven system modifies both its availablecapacity C and effective packing pressure P as part of its own dynamics. This paper clarifies thisasymmetry and analyzes canonical examples
