Overview
Life exhibits emergent properties (consciousness, agency, goal-directedness) that resist reduction to physics. The τ-framework provides non-reductive emergence: E₂ enrichment adds genuinely new structure not present in E₁, without violating E₁ laws.
Result Statement
Non-reductive emergence via enrichment ladder: E₂ adds new structure without violating E₁. Emergence is structural, not mysterian. Status: Internally addressed.
