Breakthrough
Definition
Breakthrough is the Mind’s Feedback function — the moment structure collapses under its own limitations to make room for new forms. Governed by Actualization (19), Breakthrough is not destruction for destruction’s sake, but the necessary clearing of what no longer serves clarity. The sudden realization, the flash of dissonance that becomes doorway. Breakthrough is the integrity of insight crashing through false stability.

Why It’s Load-Bearing
Breakthrough is Mind’s Feedback — the operation by which old structure releases to allow new structure. In Identity_Conviction, Breakthrough is what breaks through what cannot stand the clarity.
