A specific ceasefire or armistice shape takes hold

What this is
Grain-boundary τ discharge where a bounded kinetic conflict transitions from active-fighting regime into a specific settlement geometry: full ceasefire, formal armistice, status-quo-ante return, frozen-conflict-with-de-facto-concessions, or peace-treaty with territorial recognition. The geometry crystallizes when mediator architecture + both-sides exhaustion + external-pressure align on a specific shape. The resulting shape anchors a new boundary that persists on multi-year timescales.
