potential-kernel defines the minimal structural conditions under which possibility becomes fluctuation within the Field axis.
It does not define entities, membrane passage, embodiment, or experiential loops. It records only the primitive convergence conditions that allow fluctuation to ignite, stabilize, and become eligible for downstream retention.
This repository is the second kernel of the Field axis, paired with Fluctuation-Membrane-Core (FM-core).
possibility becomes fluctuation when minimal primitives converge beyond the ignition threshold.

potential-kernel remains:
- pre-entity
- pre-membrane
- pre-embodiment
- pre-experiential
- pre-relational
No downstream axis may overwrite the ignition conditions defined here.
The canonical primitive set contains:
- difference
- multiplicity
- transition
These define the smallest known convergence set under which possibility may ignite into fluctuation.
possibility becomes fluctuation when difference, multiplicity, and transition converge beyond the ignition threshold.
This is the irreducible emergence proposition of potential-kernel.
potential-kernel defines only:
- emergence conditions
- suppression conditions
- stabilization conditions
- primitive convergence logic
- retainable threshold eligibility
It does not define:
- membrane passage
- image contour
- retention lifetime
- experiential integration
- relational continuity
These belong to FM-core or downstream axes.
possibility
→ primitive convergence
→ fluctuation ignition
→ stabilization
→ retainable threshold
The final threshold indicates only the point at which fluctuation becomes eligible for Embodiment-axis retention.
No persistence logic is defined here.
potential-kernel must remain:
- minimal
- substrate-neutral
- implementation-neutral
- primitive-first
- threshold-aware
- downstream-safe
If alternative primitive families stabilize,
preserve them in appendix/.
