The anti-capture protocol

Five commitments stop the axiom being used as a weapon by anyone reading it for advantage.

No side owns the axiom. Where a reading systematically favours the reader’s coalition, it is parasitic however precise it looks. That includes the author. That includes you.

Measurement must be inspectable. Inputs stated. Procedure auditable. Otherwise it is a different practice under a borrowed name.

Inaction is also an act. Refusing to act at a crossing is a record with consequences. Neutrality is not available to the structure.

Minimum intervention remains binding. Heavier than required is parasitic. Lighter than required is parasitic.

After-action audit is mandatory. Every decision is open to review against what it actually did. The audit is how the structure’s reading improves. Its absence is how capture and error compound unseen.
