Importance
Derives the hierarchical architecture (aggregate coupling, directed feed-forward, nearest-neighbor) from CES axioms. Core architectural spine for Paper 4.
Novelty
New theorem: CES geometry forces the port topology. The three derived properties (aggregate coupling, directed structure, nearest-neighbor) are novel architectural results not previously established.
Quality
Well-structured derivation from six axioms. Clear presentation of three derived properties with knockout cascade implications. Good cross-links to hierarchical-systems, spectral-hierarchy.
