La Profilée - The Chemistry Programme: A Structural Audit of Persistence and Identity in Chemistry
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: La Profilée is a universal structural law of persistence under transformation. Chemistry is the realization domain in which the law’s central question is asked most often and answered least explicitly, because chemistry is the science of transformation and must therefore say, constantly, what survived it. This catalogue does for chemistry what the Physics and Biology Programme Catalogues do for their domains. It is an audit register: where established chemistry already applies an identity criterion without stating one, what follows when the criterion is made explicit, and what status each finding carries. The four-step protocol is unchanged. Present the chemistry completely without the law; audit it for implicit persistence and identity structure; insert the law explicitly; catalogue the consequences by class. The standing restriction. Nothing here derives a bond, an orbital, an element, or a reaction mechanism. Chemistry supplies its own carriers. Where a module reads a chemical structure as realizing a forced abstract role, that reading is labelled as such.
