<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
To prevent absence of response from being treated as agreement to external meanings, limits, or alterations of ayaawx.<br />
<br />
== General Principle ==<br />
Silence does not equal consent to reinterpretation.<br />
<br />
== Explanation ==<br />
Circumstances may prevent immediate response or participation. <br />
Non-response cannot be taken as approval, waiver, or transfer of interpretive authority. <br />
Meaning remains grounded in existing law and relationship.<br />
<br />
== Authority ==<br />
Interpretive authority remains with:<br />
* [[Laxyuup]]<br />
* [[Adaawx]]<br />
* [[Houses]]<br />
* [[Witnessed Practice]]<br />
* [[Elders]]<br />
* [[Recognized Knowledge Holders]]<br />
<br />
== Implications ==<br />
External actors must not assume agreement where none has been expressed. <br />
Delay or restraint may reflect process, not acceptance. <br />
Existing responsibilities continue unchanged.<br />
<br />
== Limits ==<br />
Only lawful and witnessed agreement can alter shared understanding. <br />
Assumptions drawn from silence have no standing.<br />
<br />
== Cross-References ==<br />
