Category: Governance Principles <br />
Page status: Working<br />
<br />
== Statement ==<br />
Citation does not confer authority to reinterpret.<br />
<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
To clarify that referencing or quoting Tsm’syen law does not grant power to redefine its meaning.<br />
<br />
== Explanation ==<br />
People may cite material for study, comparison, or discussion.<br />
<br />
However, authority arises from relationship, standing, and responsibility within the Nation — not from possession of text.<br />
<br />
== Function ==<br />
This principle separates access from jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
It prevents external actors from claiming interpretive power through documentation.<br />
<br />
== What This Prevents ==<br />
* academic overreach <br />
* legal substitution <br />
* authority based on publication <br />
* reinterpretation without standing<br />
<br />
== Relationship to Education ==<br />
Study and citation may contribute to learning.<br />
<br />
Learning does not convert into governance authority.<br />
<br />
== Result ==<br />
Knowledge may circulate while interpretation remains internal.<br />
<br />
== Cross-References ==<br />
* [[Use of Tsm’syen law outside the Nation requires consent]]<br />
* [[External interpretation lacks lawful authority]]<br />
* [[Law retains its meaning within its own legal order]]<br />
* [[Misuse of records undermines integrity]]</div>Amusterer
