The structure above the line
Where a coupling crosses, the structure has authority to read it and correct it. That authority is not stipulated either. It is derived from the shared room being real and its contraction being readable.
What it reads is the geometry from Chapter Two. The correction hierarchy. Minimum sufficient intervention.
It is not the technocratic mandate to run every life at every resolution. Only the crossings. Where the coupling does not cross, the structure’s capacity to regulate gives it no authority to.
