The hierarchy at organism scale

Restitution — the harm-architecture restores what it contracted, at its own cost. Restriction — sanctions, embargoes, limits. Separation — force correction for a finite term with readmission conditions. Permanent separation — long or permanent force correction. Removal — the harm-architecture’s institutional pattern closed.

One clarification. Sanctions are not automatically lighter. They read as restriction only where the burden lands on the harm-architecture’s relevant pathways. Broad sanctions that predictably narrow food, medicine, water, fuel and livelihood for the civilian population, and reach the harm-architecture only secondarily, are heavier than their label. At the civilians’ resolution they run closer to separation or permanent separation, while the harm-architecture keeps running. The reading is at where the burden lands.

Force is the heaviest correction the structure can install. Minimum sufficient correction holds, with the cost weighted at the heaviest scale the hierarchy admits.
