Post 73: Step 11 => Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria

In the last thread, you completed Step 10 and forged your Definitional Perimeters—the structural Outer Limit of your reality. But a wall without a guard at the gate is a fatal flaw. A compromised inner circle is far more dangerous than an external threat.

Step 11: Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria (IEC) is the non-negotiable protocol for Structural Vetting.

The Trust Filter
Your Definitional Perimeters defined the line in the sand; the IEC defines the rigorous process for determining who or what is allowed to cross it. This protocol transforms the subjective pain of betrayal into a set of objective, verifiable rules for trustworthiness.

  • The Mandate: You are commanded to simplify complex relational trauma into verifiable rules. A trustworthy asset (data or a person) must structurally prove that its core intent aligns with your purpose.
  • The Criteria (The Trust Test): The filter primarily checks the coherence between Ethos (trustworthiness/intent) and Praxis (action/documented proof). For a data point, it checks for Axiomatic Radical Transparency (irrefutable evidence). For an operator, it checks for a sustained willingness to be accountable.
  • The Structural Defense: IEC eliminates the structural possibility of internal fragmentation. By rigorously vetting and only allowing aligned holons and data, you ensure every internal element reinforces your core purpose.
The Axiom of Definitional Integrity This structural filter is governed by the Axiom of Definitional Integrity: The cohesion of a system is directly proportional to the clarity and rigor of its protocols for vetting truth and trustworthiness.

The Call to Praxis (Micro-Method Mandate)
Action: Take one area of current, low-grade relational friction in your life (e.g., a frustrating acquaintance). Your mandate is to perform a Structural Trust Audit. Define three clear Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria for that relationship based on objective behavior (Praxis), not subjective feeling. (e.g., "Must communicate via verifiable text," or "Must not engage in topic X").
