Functional Time and Recoverability Window
The simulations reveal structured recoverability boundaries, gradual degradation of operational recovery margin, ratio-organized accessibility transitions, stochastic accessibility bands, history-dependent recoverability, and numerically robust transition structures across parameter space.
A minimal operational framework exploring recoverability-limited dynamical accessibility.
Functional Time and Recoverability Window
This work explores whether systems may progressively lose operational recoverability before complete dynamical collapse occurs.
Rather than asking only whether trajectories formally exist, the framework investigates whether recoverable return pathways remain dynamically accessible within finite operational windows.
The simulations suggest that recoverability depends strongly on the interaction between:
perturbation delivery timescale,
intrinsic recovery dynamics,
and finite operational recovery constraints.
The framework generates:
structured recoverability boundaries,
gradual degradation of functional recovery margin,
ratio-organized accessibility transitions,
history-dependent recoverability,
stochastic accessibility bands,
and numerically robust transition structures.
Using a minimal ERC (Endogenous Reachability Collapse) framework, the simulations explore how operational accessibility may degrade progressively under finite-time perturbation and recovery dynamics.
Rather than interpreting recoverability as a purely binary property, the framework investigates transition regions where systems retain formal dynamical structure while progressively losing accessible recovery pathways.
The repository includes:
reproducible computational notebook,
generated manuscript figures,
parameter sweeps,
stochastic robustness analyses,
sequential perturbation experiments,
and numerical sensitivity tests.

This framework may be relevant to broader questions involving recoverability, rate-constrained dynamics, operational accessibility, and finite-time behavior in dynamical systems.
