One law. Three substrates. We measure it.

Time as an ordering variable; σ the capacity to integrate state changes, λ the load; stability while λ ≤ σ. On today's quantum computers that is not philosophy — it is a measured curve with a collapse edge.

λ ≤ σ in plain words

Every substrate — a chip, a model, a brain — can integrate only so many coherent state changes per unit of its own time. Push more through it than it can integrate and order collapses into noise. On a quantum computer the collapse is decoherence: a capacity overload, not a mystery.

What is measured, what is open

Coherence extended 3.4× under artifact control, 14σ; protected witness alive at 40 µs, unprotected dead at about 11 µs.
Cross-chip forecast sealed before launch: 1.6 points mean error on a chip never touched; the 54-qubit scaling call at 11.4σ.
Time-crystal defect written and shifted at 6.9 and 6.5 standard errors (ibm_fez, 81 s QPU); a round trip at 12.0 standard errors on ibm_boston — one secondary endpoint missed and disclosed. Time memory beyond that stays at whitepaper level: the patent hold is on the record.
Open kill conditions, published: a scrambled-timing arm that reproduces the plateaus kills the load-shaping reading; a forecast that fails naive baselines on new devices kills "readable"; a failed time-crystal replication withdraws time memory; hallucination ladders without an edge drop field two.

Patent DE 10 2026 121 129.1 (22 May 2026, 18 claims). Whitepaper: Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22078286. Outside, this is an instrument with a forecasting record; "law" after replication.
