## §SELF — OIP protocol specification

**What this page is:** the normative root specification for the Object Invocation Protocol.

**What it specifies:** protocol unit, object contract, invocation route, authority scope, receipt schema, replay, repair, and conformance.

C09 (Selection) contradicts C25 (Teleology)

Tension: Does natural selection exhaust apparent purpose, or is there a residue of directedness that selection cannot account for?

Resolution status: UNRESOLVED

What would settle it: Demonstration of (a) an evolutionary trend that is not random walk, not local fitness gradient, and not thermodynamic dissipation — requiring a new causal category; OR (b) complete derivation of all apparent purpose from selection + dissipation, rendering teleology redundant.

Current state: C09 (T1 biology) has overwhelming empirical support. C25 (T3/T4) has no accepted physical mechanism. The burden of proof is entirely on C25. The fault line is clear: mechanism vs. interpretation.

Honest assessment: The tension is asymmetrical. Selection is operational; teleology is load-optional. They coexist in the graph only because the question (“why does nature appear purposive?”) has not been fully dissolved.
