Null Well Regulation
Definition
Null Well Regulation is the mechanism that prevents computational overflow when recursion reaches its critical thresholds, keeping the substrate stable by letting collapse into null wells absorb the excess.
The book pairs it with Recursive Feedback Loops among the substrate's stability and coherence mechanisms. Feedback loops create self-reinforcing patterns that hold the substrate coherent through collective synchronization; null well regulation sets the upper limit, stepping in at the Recursion Thresholds so that load cannot grow without bound. The current lexicon statement adds that it works through collapse-threshold mechanisms and a reset of phase coherence. Both mechanisms serve the substrate's exponential stability condition, which caps how fast the substrate state may change as coherence decays, while Phase Synchronization produces the collective oscillations the book reads as physical constants and Wavelength Scaling builds hierarchy across scales.
Null Well Regulation connects to Substrate Stability Condition, Thresholds of Recursion, Null Well, Collapse Threshold, Cascading Feedback Loops and Phase Synchronization.
