We formalize coherence maintenance as a conserved partition of contact into recoverable recognition and irreducible distortion, yielding a bound that detects fabrication across observer-coupled systems. Two axioms, fourteen theorems, four corollaries. Verified in six independent formal systems (Z3, Lean 4, Coq, SymPy, Hypothesis, Cathedral). 376 diagnostic tests, zero structural failures. R = C - A: Recognition = Contact - Agenda.
