This paper formalises the Structural Invariance Theorem within the Paton System. Building on cross-domain instantiations across financial systems artificial intelligence systems and healthcare systems it establishes that any admissible system must follow a common lifecycle defined by admissibility datum stabilisation recursive continuation constraint drift and boundary closure. The theorem demonstrates that this lifecycle is not an empirical observation but a necessary structural condition of system existence. This positions lifecycle invariance as a Tier-6 structural law governing all admissible systems prior to domain-specific modelling.
