Category: Tsm’syen Law Page status: Working
Purpose
To affirm that legitimacy depends on public memory, transparency, and recognition of what occurs.
General Principle
Assembly proceedings require witnessing.
Meaning
Deliberations and outcomes are strengthened when observed and remembered. Witnessing confirms that process and conduct align with ayaawx.
Function
This principle protects against private or unrecognized decisions. It preserves shared understanding across houses and generations.
Scope
Witnessing may include:
- recognized attendees,
- record of discussion,
- acknowledgment of statements,
- and confirmation of outcomes.
Limits
Proceedings lacking witness may face doubt or challenge. Legitimacy depends on recognition.
Consequence
Proper witnessing secures memory and authority. Absence of witness weakens standing.
