S180 no-go [la-mu de-be] lo-mu ru Despite the device being repaired, the device remains one.

Notes

no-go concessive frame — first attestation. The no-go compound extends the causal frame family via negation: no (absence) + go (cause/origin) = "the following event is NOT the causal origin of the matrix clause." Operational meaning: Y holds independently of X. This produces a concessive: despite X, Y.
Causal frame family now has three members:

Frame	Form	Meaning
Factual causal	`go [X] Y`	X causes / grounds Y
Counterfactual	`to-go [X] Y`	non-actual X would cause Y
Concessive	`no-go [X] Y`	Y holds independent of / despite X

lo-mu ru: patientive lo- on the device; ru = unity/singularity = the device is still one (numerically identical, not replaced). This is the identity claim: same unit, post-repair.
IPX target: identity through change. The identity is expressed by ru (it's still one), not by a dedicated "same" primitive. The change is expressed by de-be (repair, W035). The concessive no-go is the frame that decouples them: the unity is not derived from the repair; it persists through it.

S181 no-go [la-mu pe ki] lo-mu ru Despite the device's parts changing, the device remains one.

Notes

no-go second attestation. Same concessive frame; escalated condition: not merely repaired (partial change) but having its parts themselves changed (pe ki = parts + change/motion = constituent exchange). Ship of Theseus case.
la-mu pe ki: the device (agent) has its parts (pe) undergoing change (ki). pe first use in this grammatical role: parts as the implicit argument of the predicate ki within an la-X clause. Reads: the device [such that its] parts change.
IPX verdict: Identity persistence requires no new primitive. ru (unity/singularity) is sufficient for the numerical-identity claim; no-go handles the independence-from-change framing. The Ship of Theseus translates cleanly: an object's oneness is not derived from the stability of its parts.
Deeper implication: in Tonesu's ontology, ru is primitive — which means unity is an irreducible conceptual atom. You can't decompose "being one thing" further. This is why identity persistence works without a "same" primitive: ru already IS the primitive for numerical identity. The stress test didn't break the primitive set; it revealed that ru was doing this work all along.
