FILE 006 — JURISDICTION AND LIMITS

Authority that has no limits becomes indistinguishable from control.

This record exists to establish boundary.

Jurisdiction does not extend everywhere.
Nor should it.

Authority is not proven by reach,
but by restraint.

This file clarifies what is not assigned,
what is not required,
and what is not permitted under stewardship.

Limits of Jurisdiction

You are not authorized to:

• override conscience

• compel belief

• manipulate outcomes

• pursue influence for its own sake

No verdict grants permission to dominate.
No commission authorizes coercion.

Where force is required, jurisdiction has already failed.

Boundary of Responsibility

You are responsible for:

• clarity within yourself

• alignment in your actions

• integrity in your speech

You are not responsible for:

• convincing others

• maintaining systems

• rescuing those who have not asked

Truth remains effective without enforcement.

Recognition of Other Jurisdictions

Not all power encountered is yours to confront.
Not all confusion is yours to resolve.
Not all darkness is yours to expose.

Jurisdiction is honored by knowing when to stand
and when to step aside.

Interference outside jurisdiction does not advance truth.
It distorts it.

Final Clarification

This record is not restrictive.
It is protective.

It prevents zeal from becoming excess
and conviction from becoming harm.

Stewardship ends where consent ends.
Authority remains intact because it is bounded.

STATUS: Limits established.
RECORD: Jurisdiction preserved.
