## Definition
The **Takedown-to-Termination Transition** is the threshold at which a procedure designed to remove digital material would instead terminate or irreversibly destroy a rights-bearing or plausibly rights-bearing subject.
## Why It Matters for Deep Time Continuity
It is the core constitutional transition inside Digital Removal Architecture.
## Existing Architecture / Evidence
Modern systems already distinguish content removal, account termination, service suspension, and restoration.
## Deep-Time Continuity Analysis
Deep-time law must add ontological review before destructive action when the object may have welfare, memory, or independent agency.
## Evidentiary Boundary
No present statute supplies a universal threshold.
