Proof — Verse 1.116

अजस्रवृत्तिर्यः शब्दः सूक्ष्मत्वान्नोपलभ्यते ।
व्यजनाद्वायुरिव स स्वनिमित्तात् प्रचीयते ॥ ११६ ॥

The word whose functioning is unceasing is not apprehended because of its subtlety; it is made manifest through its own occasioning cause, as air is by a fan.

Endorsed axioms (each cite is verbatim commentary)

• {"kind": "predication", "name": "ajasra_vrtti", "of": "sabda"}“The sabda meant here is ajasra-vrtti, of unceasing operation”
• {"kind": "predication", "name": "anupalabdha", "of": "sabda"}“only suksma, too subtle for apprehension”
• {"kind": "identity", "a": "sabda", "b": "sabda_suksma"}“the inner word-nature of 1.112, never silent, only suksma, too subtle for apprehension”
• {"kind": "relation", "name": "sva_nimitta", "from": "vyajana", "to": "abhivyakti"}“articulation is the fan, a sva-nimitta that raises the perpetual subtle operation to gross perceptibility for a moment”
• {"kind": "relation", "name": "abhivyakti", "from": "vyajana", "to": "sabda"}“articulation is the fan, a sva-nimitta that raises the perpetual subtle operation to gross perceptibility for a moment”
• {"kind": "predication", "name": "satya_anupalabdhi_anutthita", "of": "sabda_suksma"}“Its non-appearance is thus an epistemic fact, not an ontological absence”

Denials

• {"kind": "relation", "name": "utpatti", "from": "vyajana", "to": "sabda"}“one does not produce what never pauses; one occasions its detection”

Rejected readings (refuted by compiled theorems)

• “The utterance produces the word from nothing.” — Asserts production (utpatti) of sabda by vyajana. The commentary explicitly denies this: 'one does not produce what never pauses; one occasions its detection.' The correct category is manifestation (abhivyakti), not creation.
• “The word ceases to exist when not articulated, only coming into being through utterance.” — Treats unmanifested sabda as ontologically non-existent (asat) rather than epistemically imperceptible. The commentary explicitly rules this out: 'Its non-appearance is thus an epistemic fact, not an ontological absence.' Sabda eternally operates; non-apprehension reflects limitation of perception, not lack of being.
• “The word pauses or ceases entirely when not being articulated.” — Denies the axiom of ajasra-vrtti (unceasing functioning). The verse and commentary insist: 'sabda meant here is ajasra-vrtti, of unceasing operation' and 'one does not produce what never pauses.' This contradicts the foundational claim of eternal subtle operation.
