== Purpose ==<br />
This principle explains that how a record may be applied depends on the circumstances from which it arose.<br />
<br />
== Principle ==<br />
'''Context determines lawful use.'''<br />
<br />
== Meaning ==<br />
A record cannot be used properly without understanding the conditions in which it was created.<br />
Speaker, place, time, purpose, and standing shape how — or whether — something may guide present action.<br />
<br />
Use detached from context risks misuse.<br />
<br />
== What Lawful Use Depends On ==<br />
* Who held authority at the time.<br />
* Whether the situation is comparable.<br />
* Whether the record was advisory or decisive.<br />
* Whether witnessing confirmed outcome.<br />
* Whether access permissions remain valid.<br />
<br />
== Why This Matters ==<br />
* Prevents automatic or mechanical application.<br />
* Protects the relationship between knowledge and responsibility.<br />
* Helps avoid importing solutions into the wrong setting.<br />
* Maintains continuity without freezing law.<br />
<br />
== Different Context → Different Use ==<br />
A principle may:<br />
* Teach in one situation,<br />
* Guide in another,<br />
* Or have no authority in a third.<br />
<br />
Understanding the difference is part of lawful conduct.<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
* Emergency guidance may not apply in normal governance.<br />
* Internal house discussion may not bind the Nation.<br />
* Historical response to past harm may inform but not dictate modern action.<br />
* Training materials may explain practice without authorizing it.<br />
<br />
== Risks if Ignored ==<br />
* Authority may be wrongly extended.<br />
* Conflict may arise from misapplication.<br />
* External parties may claim certainty where none exists.<br />
* Trust in records weakens.<br />
<br />
== Safeguards ==<br />
* Compare present conditions to original ones.<br />
* Seek guidance from lawful interpreters.<br />
* Mark uncertainty honestly.<br />
* Avoid treating records as universal templates.<br />
<br />
== Cross-references ==<br />
* [[Context Must Accompany All Records]]<br />
* [[Context Includes Speaker, Place, Time, and Purpose]]<br />
* [[Records Must Identify Scope and Limitations]]<br />
* [[Method Matters as Much as Content]]<br />
* [[Recording Does Not Transfer Interpretive Authority]]<br />

== Notes ==<br />
Future development may include tools for evaluating similarity between past and present situations.<br />
