Law Resources are inseparable from the places they come from.

Explanation Resources arise from specific lands, waters, and territories within laxyuup. Their meaning, use, and authority are tied to place. Severing resources from place severs them from law.

Standard Use must respect the origin and conditions of the place. Movement or transfer does not remove responsibility. Place-based relationships determine lawful use.

Effect Extraction that ignores place creates imbalance. Lawful stewardship maintains the connection between resource and territory.
