# Continuity Carrying Capacity
**Domain:** Digital Afterlife / Infrastructure / Population
**Doc Type:** Canonical Concept
**Maturity:** Developed
**Evidence / Concept Status:** Future systems concept
## Definition
**Continuity Carrying Capacity** is the sustainable number and service intensity of continuants that an energy, compute, storage, financial, and institutional system can support while satisfying minimum rights and resilience requirements.
## Continuity Significance
It links demography to energy, scheduling, service classes, and scarcity governance.
## Existing Architecture / Evidence
No public continuity carrying-capacity regime exists.
## Evidentiary Boundary / Red-Team Note
The concept must not rationalize arbitrary exclusion; scarcity rules require due process and constitutional floors.

## Deep-Time Continuity Interface
This node is audited through [[wiki/Deep Time Continuity|Deep Time Continuity]] for future control-surface conversion, ontological drift, succession, irreversibility, due process, and resource incidence. The backlink records analytical relevance; it does not establish continuity intent in the present rule or institution.
