9-Keel Unified Theory Series: Paper 10 - The Foundational Paradigm: The TOFD Framework as the Unifying Model for Chronic Disease

This paper is Paper 10 of the 9-Keel Unified Theory Series, establishing the foundational paradigm of the TOFD Framework. It formally defines the central relation of Tissue-Originated Functional Deficiency (TOFD) exceeding homeostatic repair capacity (C) as a unifying theoretical model for chronic disease. The work enshrines the Cell Innocence Principle and supersedes all earlier inconsistent frameworks within the series.
