Status: OUT
System degradation is irreversible: the system degrades monotonically at every abstraction level with no self-healing (leaked pages, growing tree height, accumulating divergence), and no subsystem at any architectural tier has a viable recovery strategy to arrest the erosion — recovery infrastructure is either vestigial, paradoxically over-engineered, or fundamentally missing.
Monotonic degradation with no recovery mechanism at any tier means the system only gets worse
