Citation Does Not Confer Interpretive Authority
Category: Interpretation Page status: Working
Purpose
To prevent misunderstanding that referencing external materials transfers the power to define or interpret ayaawx.
General Principle
Citation does not confer interpretive authority.
Explanation
External documents may be quoted, referenced, or relied upon in discussions with other systems. Use of those materials is communicative and strategic. It does not grant external bodies the right to interpret, redefine, or limit Tsm’syen law.
Authority
Interpretation remains grounded in:
Implications
Agreement with an external statement does not subordinate ayaawx. Silence from external systems does not weaken ayaawx. Internal meaning remains internally held.
Limits
Where external interpretation conflicts with ayaawx, internal law governs. No citation transfers jurisdiction.
