Generative Rules & Stage-Wise Change

Primes about systems that transform state by rule over time while preserving identity: generative grammars and naming conventions, higher-order functions and self-reference, fixed points and Markov dynamics, develops-from and supersession relations, and bounded windows of malleability like critical periods.

19 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
