This work provides a structural derivation of the quadratic form of the Born rule in quantum mechanics. Rather than postulating the probability rule as a foundational axiom, the paper proves that the exponent governing quantum probabilities is uniquely fixed by stability, contractivity, and duality requirements imposed on admissible physical laws.The analysis is carried out within a general operator-theoretic and law-space framework, in which physical laws are treated as fixed points of recursive generative dynamics. By combining strict contractive flow (Kappa Law), topological rigidity (Law of Endogenous Constraint), and algebra–geometry duality (Monad Duality), the paper demonstrates that only the Hilbert–Schmidt geometry is compatible with global stability of law evolution. As a consequence, the quadratic probability rule emerges as a rigid structural invariant rather than a free modeling choice.The result implies that any hypothetical modification of quantum theory based on non-quadratic probability rules would necessarily violate at least one of the fundamental structural requirements of admissible physical law, such as uniform contractivity, spectral stability, or duality consistency.This work builds directly on the operator-theoretic resolution of quantum measurement:“A Complete Operator-Theoretic Resolution of the Quantum Measurement Problem” (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17823241),and on the generative law framework introduced in:“The Tier-0 Framework and the Everything Equation: A Universal Recursion Law for Physics, Mathematics, and Information” (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17813117).See also: The Tier–Omega Monad: Trans-Recursive Completion of the Everything Equation (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17859631), which establishes the unique trans-recursive invariant that terminates all possible meta-law recursion and completes the Everything Equation. This work provides the structural boundary underlying the entire framework developed in the associated papers.https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17864384
