Ayaawx as the Framework of Law

Status: Working Category: Tsm’syen Laws and Legal Orders

Statement

Ayaawx provides the framework of law.

Meaning

Ayaawx is the foundational legal order within which all law exists. It is not a single rule or decision, but the structure that makes lawful authority, responsibility, and judgment possible.

All legal actions, interpretations, and decisions must occur within Ayaawx in order to remain legitimate.

Core Principles

  • Ayaawx establishes the boundaries of lawful conduct.
  • Ayaawx defines responsibilities as well as limits on authority.
  • Ayaawx determines who may act, how they may act, and when action must stop.
  • Ayaawx is recognized, not created by personal power or position.
  • Ayaawx applies across generations and circumstances.

Relationship to Other Legal Elements

  • Adaawx operate within Ayaawx as legal records and precedents.
  • Elders interpret law through Ayaawx; they do not stand above it.
  • Names and crests carry authority only insofar as they are exercised within Ayaawx.
  • Witnesses confirm lawful continuity, not personal discretion.

What Ayaawx Is Not

  • Ayaawx is not policy.
  • Ayaawx is not opinion.
  • Ayaawx is not political authority.
  • Ayaawx is not subject to unilateral change.

Legal Effect

Lawful authority exists only where conduct remains consistent with Ayaawx. Actions taken outside Ayaawx lose legitimacy and invite correction through lawful process.
