Feast acknowledgment
Feast acknowledgment
Feast acknowledgment is the formal, public recognition that something has occurred and is now binding. Without acknowledgment in feast, authority, transfers, and obligations remain incomplete.
The feast is not celebration alone. It is a legal forum.
What feast acknowledgment does
Feast acknowledgment:
- confirms that an event occurred
- records who holds authority and why
- affirms responsibilities created or continued
- places knowledge into public, witnessed memory
Once acknowledged, the matter enters living law.
What must be acknowledged
Matters commonly acknowledged in feast include:
- assumption of names and titles
- transfers or confirmations of authority
- settlements, compensation, and restoration
- declarations of responsibility or correction
- resolution or recognition of violations
Silence or omission is meaningful.
Who acknowledges
Acknowledgment comes from:
- hosts who declare the matter
- witnesses who hear and accept it
- other houses whose presence affirms legitimacy
Acceptance by witnesses is what gives the acknowledgment force.
Relationship to responsibility
Acknowledgment creates obligation.
Once something is acknowledged:
- it cannot be denied later
- responsibility follows the name
- failure becomes visible to all witnesses
Feast acknowledgment binds future holders as well as present ones.
Feast acknowledgment and violation
If responsibilities are violated:
- witnesses recall what was acknowledged
- false claims are exposed
- authority may be challenged or withdrawn
Feast memory prevents quiet erasure of duty.
What happens without feast acknowledgment
Without acknowledgment:
- authority remains unsettled
- claims may be disputed
- obligations lack full force
Unacknowledged actions are vulnerable to challenge.
Core principle
What is acknowledged in feast becomes law. What is not acknowledged remains unfinished.
