== Purpose ==
This entry records the principle that separation or exclusion is not the primary objective of resolution or justice. Law seeks restoration of balance and relationships rather than removal, isolation, or permanent exclusion.

== General Principle ==
* Separation or exclusion is not the primary objective.
* Resolution prioritizes repair over removal.
* Justice seeks reintegration where possible.
* Exclusion is a last measure, not a goal.

== Understanding Separation ==
* Separation may occur to prevent further harm.
* Temporary distance can protect individuals or the community.
* Separation is a protective measure, not a punishment.
* Permanent exclusion signals unresolved imbalance.

== Application ==
* Resolution focuses on restoring safe participation in relationships.
* Responsibility and repair are preferred to banishment or isolation.
* Community integrity is preserved through inclusion.
* Decisions consider long-term relational consequences.

== Limits ==
* Inclusion does not excuse ongoing harm.
* Protection of others may require temporary restriction.
* Reintegration requires responsibility and changed conduct.
* Exclusion without path to repair weakens law.
