Closure Scope: Evaluation Scope and Traversal Closure

Closure Scope reads availability across different closure conditions under Reality Mechanics (RM Core v13.3). Closure scope names the evaluative scope under which availability is read. Different closures may make different availability reads obtainable within the same relation. Closure scope is evaluative distinction, not primitive separation. It does not supply temporal sequence, spatial geometry, observer standpoint, mechanism, or quantity as primitive. Applications may supply specific closures, measurements, and quantities. Two closure conditions are distinguished: — Local closure: availability read at a local boundary condition. A local read is not false because it is local; it does not necessarily contain traversal-closure availability. — Traversal closure: availability read at completion of a traversal boundary. Traversal-closure availability is not an additional local event; it may make available what is unavailable locally without altering local availability. The central structural contribution is the identification of scope collapse as the condition that generates apparent paradox: treating local evaluation and traversal closure as the same evaluation leaves a surplus unexplained. Reality Mechanics distinguishes the two scopes. Two worked examples are developed: The rolling-circle paradox. A circle of radius r rolling without slipping around a fixed circle of radius R produces a local rotation count of R/r and a traversal-closure count of R/r + 1. For equal radii, the local expectation is one rotation; the traversal-closure count is two. The surplus rotation is traversal-closure availability, not a local event. Holonomy quantifies the surplus; Reality Mechanics identifies the closure-scope condition holonomy quantifies. The quantities belong to standard mathematics. Sidereal and solar days. Earth completes approximately 366.25 sidereal rotations per year and approximately 365.25 solar days. The difference of one rotation is traversal-closure availability. Local rotation and orbital closure do not resolve identically. The quantities belong to standard astronomy. Reality Mechanics reads the closure-scope distinction. In both cases, the standard mathematics and quantities are authoritative for their domains. Reality Mechanics reads the structural condition only. Applications may supply mathematics, geometry, quantities, reference frames, and specific content.
