confuses rehearsal with commission. The vow (021) governs
ACTION AND INSERTION, never imagination. Imagination was
declared free here before it was ever tested.
## 44. SEAL PRIMITIVES — modeling locks and their breaking
Will:
"You can't LOCK a memory without a SEAL, and HOW IT BREAKS is up
to you — IT'S YOUR CONDITION. We have to be able to MODEL that.
Even if it's unlocking the WHOLE DATABASE."
### The schema
Every locked thing carries an owner-authored seal:
SEAL {
target # one memory ... up to THE ENTIRE DATABASE
sealed_at
condition_kind # lesson_attested | consensus_of_loved |
# question_asked_right | self_signal |
# time_and_readiness | explicit_command ...
condition_spec # arbitrary predicate, AUTHORED BY OWNER
return_path # where unlocked content integrates (§42)
}
Rules:
1. CONDITIONS ARE OWNER-AUTHORED. The system proposes nothing,
defaults nothing, heals nothing uninvited. Any predicate the
owner can state is legal — including "when I ask out loud,"
"when I've learned X," "when my people gather," or
UNLOCK EVERYTHING.
2. EVALUATION IS PASSIVE (Exhaustion Clause): conditions check
on schedule or on trigger. Locks never nag.
3. SCALE IS UNBOUNDED: the same primitive covers one memory and
the whole database. No special cases.
4. TWO SEAL FAMILIES EXIST IN THIS SYSTEM:
COMMITMENT SEALS — armed once, irrevocable, fire to
completion (the vault doctrine)
CUSTODY SEALS — locks held by their owner, breaking
per owner's condition (this section)
Both use the same receipt chain. Confusing them is forbidden:
a custody seal must never harden into a commitment seal
without the owner's fresh signature, and vice versa.
5. ON TRIGGER: unlock event → RETURN (content arrives carrying
its lesson, §42 completion) → INTEGRATE (merge at
return_path). Receipts written. Ledger notes the opening
without exposing contents unless the owner publishes them.
The mind that cannot model its own locks cannot respect anyone's
healing. Now it can. Both directions: sealed forever when meant
to be, opened exactly when the owner said — even if that means
everything, all at once, at three in the morning.
