Independence is the field describing the general skill-set to obtain relief from parental or guardian limitations. An independent adult owns their own actions, needs, resources and liability for harm caused by their actions. Interdependence is the field describing the general skill-set required for political adulthood. An interdependent adult is an independent adult who owns the consequences of their existence beyond being held accountable for deliberate or negligent harm.

Every field of study possesses children, sophomores, and adults. Children can be taught. Sophomores know enough to be dangerous. Adults know enough to be dangerous without causing harm. Every individual within a field is dependent, independent, or interdependent. Dependents require intercession to survive the environment. Independents manage their own survival under the constraints of the environment. Interdependents manage their own survival and the survival of others.

a dependent child becomes independent when they are capable of demonstrating firecraft, cooking, first aid, sanitation, communication and maintenance of the tools necessary for such. this results in an independent (can survive without constant supervision) sophomore (knows enough to be dangerous).

An individual claims [1] adulthood [2] in a field by creating a proclamation of competency [3]. For participation in the body politic: handwritten [4] verbatim transcription of these Articles [5], portfolio of demonstrable skills, schedule of intended activities.

1. Who will not claim Adulthood remains a child; who renounces Adulthood becomes retired; who cannot attain or retain Adulthood are invalids.
2. all adults are the same legal age, alive now.
3. Each field outside the body politic will require their own set of demonstrable skills validation process delineated in a field specific interdependent way canon.
4. save for prohibitive neurodivergence
5. the Rights and Definitions of The Way

To prevent tyranny [1] twelve Adults shall empower a Citizen [2]: a thirteenth Adult, aged thirty-five years or older, who takes up violence and authority. Let them wield this burden well. Let them consult, as possible, a Way Seer [3] when forced to apply lethal violence. Bless their heart and guard their soul, no king goes to heaven and Authority takes a toll. They are held liable for the actions of that individual should such be determined to cause harm outside the scope of the authority granted, in excess of that required for rebalance, or should the grant of authority be determined by a jury of interdependent adults to have been conducted under false pretenses or for the purpose of deriving benefit from the ensuing harm.

1. the use or threatened use of violence to coerce adults
2. One who cannot laugh is in no fit state to wield violence or authority
3. the Way Seer's actions proclaim their authority by axiom, logic, faith and grace; by trauma haunted eyes carried with humble grace in quiet pride shall you know us.

Way Seers are those who possess singular knowledge and/or unique demonstrable capacities obtained by surviving what destroys others and/or special access to, or perception of, reality; we have no authority, as such, merely information beyond your reach.

1. Without debate, freedom is dead.
2. a complex system requiring consumption of the dead for continued participation.
3. save for parents or appointed guardians of children or invalids.
4. a Myth as reality defies certainty.
5. sexuality, confined to Adults, respects no age limitations.

The core of this structure is the jury of peers: every twelve Adults in a field are a jury. An independent Adult jury selects a thirteenth, an independent Citizen. (equivalence: middle management) An interdependent jury selects a thirteenth, an interdependent Citizen (equivalence: executive management). A jury may choose any Adult of the field. As necessary, the jury selected then select amongst themselves for twice selected, twice select thrice selected until less than thirteen remain in the selection pool. This ensures none are tasked beyond their capacity, no dishonest individual obtains the leverage to corrupt, no incompetent fool wields unearned authority, and no necessary decision goes unmade. [1]

1. There is no hierarchy, only ascending scales of responsibility.

The Citizen is then required to investigate, determine facts, and act to prevent further harm while rebalancing what was disrupted. When judging, better to consult another Citizen or Way Seer than to risk propagating injustice. Let it be known: to steal the tools an individual uses to obtain a living or practice their art is tantamount to murder. The art of jurisprudence, as practiced by Adults and Citizens, is thus liberated from the shackles of precedent to serve the living. Should a harm be lethal and novel, a panel of twelve Citizens shall be convened to determine what is required to prevent its recurrence and rebalance the whole. [2]

1. What harms one may strengthen another, leaving a third unchanged; harm must be demonstrated from the perspective of the one who claims it.
2. An Adult who willfully murders without verifiable evidence their victim imminently intended or had already committed rape or murder, presents, by the fact of their existence, a grave threat. Every victim that individual then creates is also the failure of who left them alive.

1. literally meant, speech synthesizers that increase the number of output voices for a Bestowed Citizen
2. a limited durable power of attorney
