CONSTRAINT-ALIGNED MOTION A Structural Principle for Efficient Continuation Within the Paton System
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This paper introduces constraint-aligned motion as a structural principle within the Paton System. It shows that efficient motion is achieved not through increased force or mass but through alignment between system structure and environmental constraint conditions. Systems reduce resistance and maximise continuation by minimising mismatch with constraint, reframing motion as a function of structural compatibility rather than energy magnitude.
