[FRIAM] Truth: “Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!”

[gⅼеɳ ☣]

But, as Marcus indirectly points out, your defn of truth as a capability failure, then holds everywhere, all the time.  Any system with any temporal delay will exhibit it.  E.g. the inputs come at time t0 and the reaction comes at time t1, during that delay Δt, the system is failing ... adhering to some truth.  And any system with any sort of spatial extent will exhibit it.  E.g. an input comes in at position x0 and the output exits at position x1, the space in Δx will be failing, adhering to some truth as you define it.

The only structures that could possibly satisfy the extreme embedded/responsive constraints you've put in place for "non-failure" will be completely "ordered" in the sense of having no depth or structure, including faster than light communication.  This makes your definition a bit useless because it makes truth ubiquitous.
