Why Super-Soldier Programs Are Structurally Non-Viable
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Contemporary "super-soldier" research programs—spanning genetic enhancement, neurochemical modulation, biomechanical augmentation, and cognitive amplification—implicitly assume that human performance can be arbitrarily increased through internal parameter optimization. This paper argues that such programs are structurally non-viable under present boundary conditions. Using the Theory of Axiomatic Necessity (TNA), we show that organismal viability is not determined by internal capacity maximization, but by the preservation of minimal coherence under external incoherence pressure. Any enhancement that increases functional demand without a commensurate expansion of boundary support necessarily violates the minimal coherence condition F_min, leading to deferred collapse, systemic instability, or permanent dependence on external scaffolding. The failure of super-soldier programs is therefore not technological but structural: they seek solutions outside the domain of existence of the human system.
