Definition K.1 — Global Non-Closure Drift
Formal statement
A dynamical system exhibits global non-closure drift if:
- Localized regions satisfy ,
- The full system satisfies ,
- The mean separation between closed regions increases monotonically in time.
This drift is not driven by repulsion, but by the absence of global temporal recurrence.
