Law Damage creates obligation to restore balance.

Explanation Damage disrupts relationships between people, land, and law. Imbalance does not resolve itself without acknowledgment and action. Those connected to the damage carry responsibility for restoration.

Standard Restoration must address the nature and scope of the damage. Obligation arises regardless of intent or permission. The form of restoration is guided by ayaawx and witnessed practice.

Effect Unaddressed damage prolongs imbalance. Restoration renews trust, responsibility, and continuity. Lawful response restores balance rather than assigning punishment.
