Classical theories of identity presuppose state distinguishability over time. Quantum mechanics appears to challenge this. The present paper establishes that LP’s structural persistence condition IR = R / (F · I · C) ≤ 1 is compatible with and illuminated by quantum mechanics. LP requires distinguishability of states, not constituents — satisfied in quantum mechanics at the system level. Superposition is a regime of structural indeterminacy (IR > 1 at the outcome level). Measurement is IR-reduction through environmental coupling. v3 strengthens Section 4a: the proof chain LP identity preservation → state-space isometry → Wigner symmetry → unitarity replaces the weaker injective-CPTP argument of v2. Identity is not merely compatible with unitary evolution — it structurally requires it.
