 We assume $\mathcal{P}$ is \emph{graded}, meaning there exists a surjective rank or height function $h: V \to \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}$ such that for all covering edges $(u, v) \in E$, $h(v) = h(u) + 1$.

-By Cheeger's inequality ($\Delta \ge \Phi^2/2$), a macroscopic graph conductance $\Phi > 0$ strictly implies a macroscopic spectral gap $\Delta$ in the discrete Laplacian. A macroscopic spectral gap forces extreme multi-path mixing with a mixing time $\tau_{\mathrm{mix}} = \mathcal{O}(1)$; a random walk on an unstructured K-R poset will visit the maximal antichain in a single step, scattering its probability distribution uniformly over the $\exp(\mathcal{O}(N^2))$ available microstates.

 Consequently, for unstructured posets, the effective layer volume $|L_t|$ grows exponentially, mapping to an emergent topological dimension $d \to \infty$.
