Article V

Failure Law

Corruption is not an exception.

It is a certainty.

Systems must be designed with the knowledge that corruption and betrayal will occur.

Section 1 — Anti-Capture by Design

No system may depend on permanent moral perfection.

Security must come from architecture, not trust alone.

Section 2 — Removal of Corruption

When corruption is proven, removal must be procedural, visible, and irreversible.

Protection of legitimacy outranks protection of status.

Section 3 — The Founders are not above the Law

The founders serve the Constitution.

The Constitution does not serve the founders.

If leadership violates the law, leadership must be replaceable.

No kings.

Only stewardship.
