ABSTRACT: We introduce a globally closed quartic variational framework constructed exclusively from an internal Psi-Gamma functional without externally imposed geometrical, quantum, gauge, or dynamical sectors. Starting directly from the variational structure, we derive the stationary Euler sector, the associated Hessian operator, the admissible configuration space, the cyclic closure structure, and the global decisional selection functional. The analysis shows that the Hessian admits the normalized decomposition.
H=
E
⋆
T,
with spectral structure,
Spec(
T
)={
1,L,L }.
The internal organization of the Hessian generates the first two Livolsi constants,
L=
1
4
,
E
⋆
=Tr(
H
).
Recursive cyclic closure further generates a finite admissible configuration space,
dim(
W
phys
)=96,
leading to the third Livolsi constant,
ν=

.
The resulting hierarchy induces an intrinsic spectral discretization,
ΔE=
E
⋆
96
.
The analysis further proves that: 1) quadratic structures are spectrally degenerate, 2) cubic structures fail to generate stable closure, 3) local interactions violate admissibility, 4) lower cyclic organizations collapse, 5) externally completed extensions violate structural minimality. The quartic Psi-Gamma functional is therefore shown to constitute a structurally unique globally closed variational organization capable of generating
interaction→stability→spectrum→closure→selection
directly from a single internally closed variational structure without fitting procedures or external assumptions.
