# Recognition-to-Resource Coupling **Domain:** Deep Time / Personhood / Infrastructure **Doc Type:** Canonical Wiki Entry **Maturity:** Developed **Evidence / Concept Status:** Corpus coinage ## Definition **Recognition-to-Resource Coupling** occurs when legal recognition of an entity automatically or predictably creates claims on material infrastructure. ## Why It Matters for Deep Time Continuity In computational continuity, recognition may become load admission. ## Existing Architecture / Evidence Public benefits, prisons, hospitals, education, utilities, and disability accommodations already couple legal status to expenditure in ordinary law. ## Deep-Time Continuity Analysis The deep-time novelty is potentially indefinite duration and rapidly replicable populations. ## Evidentiary Boundary Recognition and service entitlement can remain distinct; coupling must be specified rather than assumed. ## Related Ontology [[wiki/Thermodynamic Incidence of Rights|Thermodynamic Incidence of Rights]] · [[wiki/Status-Triggered Continuity Liability|Status-Triggered Continuity Liability]] · [[wiki/Continuity Service Class|Continuity Service Class]] · [[wiki/Continuity Citizenship|Continuity Citizenship]] <!-- BEGIN DEEP TIME CONTINUITY ROUTING --> ## Canonical Branch [[wiki/Deep Time Continuity|Deep Time Continuity]] <!-- END DEEP TIME CONTINUITY ROUTING -->
