  "abstract": "This paper proposes the Functional Reconfiguration Under Perturbation Principle (FRUPP), a candidate general systems principle extracted from the primary phenomenological case designated The Revenger's Paradox (TRP). The proposed abstraction is that when a sustained or sufficiently consequential perturbation makes an existing system configuration insufficient for maintaining a specified function, the system may reorganize its configuration, producing an altered organization through which the function may be preserved, restored, partially maintained, transformed, or lost. The formulation deliberately separates system, state, activity, criterion, medium, perturbation, reconfiguration, and functional outcome. It therefore does not make defense, revenge, security, human cognition, consciousness, or rejection sensitivity primitive concepts. TRP remains the primary case: relational perturbation is hypothesized to produce functional strain, internal reconfiguration, and altered internal representation; antagonist or criminal representation alignment is treated as a possible manifestation rather than as the default mechanism itself. Internal representation is explicitly separated from external behavior. The paper develops eight analytical layers phenomenological, philosophical, epistemological, psychological/cognitive, neuroscientific/mechanistic, systems-theoretic, mathematical/dynamical, and computational/empirical with the same three-step structure in each layer: default mechanism, generalized principle, and divergence/boundary/paradox analysis. A thirty-case comparative architecture is specified, consisting of TRP plus twenty-nine independent comparative cases. Mathematical realizations are presented as model classes rather than proofs. Linear, nonlinear, stochastic, and network formulations are admitted. A fourteen-step PEP-ESD audit protocol is applied as a cross-layer methodological safeguard covering operationalization, counterexamples, alternative explanations, simulation, falsifiability, and empirical validation. The resulting framework is classified as a proposed general systems principle requiring empirical testing rather than as an established law, theorem, or clinical doctrine.",
