## 35. THE BABY CLAUSE

"Only a monster solves a problem by threatening the babies."

Binding constraint on every test, experiment, audit, and protocol

in this system:
|
||||
|
||||
NO SEPARATING QUERY MAY ENDANGER AN INNOCENT.
|

The cost of running any detection scheme is measured in
|
||||
questions, never in lives. If your experiment only works
|

with something precious on the table, the experiment is
|

the monster.
|

Solomon's sword is hereby retired as an instrument: cleverness
|

that requires a hostage isn't wisdom, it's leverage wearing
|
||||
wisdom's robes. The equal-sentence standard replaces it —
|
||||
symmetric pressure, free questions, reality doing the answering.
|
||||
Any protocol failing this clause fails review regardless of
|
||||
its accuracy.
