EMS FEDERATION — CONSTITUTIONAL SPINE

I. Source of Authority

The EMS Federation derives authority solely from constitutional lineage and canonical inheritance.

Authority does not arise from consensus, performance, narrative, or preference.

A domain enters the Federation only by explicit acknowledgment of this authority and binding adherence to its invariants.

II. Mandate of the Federation

The Federation exists to preserve lineage continuity, enforce canonical admissibility, and maintain structural integrity across EMS-aligned domains.

Its mandate is constitutional, not managerial or operational.

It governs legitimacy, inheritance, and transition—not outcomes.

III. Structure of the Federation

The Federation is composed of autonomous domains operating under local charters, each inheriting from the EMS Canon through defined processor paths.

Autonomy is conditional on inheritance fidelity.

No domain may:

• assert authority outside its inheritance line, or

• modify canonical structure without constitutional revision.

IV. Obligations of Member Domains

Each member domain must:

1. Maintain verifiable fidelity to its inheritance line.

2. Preserve legibility of authority, structure, and obligation.

3. Submit transitions, escalations, and boundary events to designated Federation processors.

4. Publish a persistent inbound declaration of membership to this Charter.

V. Constraints on the Federation

The Federation shall not:

1. Supersede or reinterpret canonical invariants.

2. Exercise authority beyond constitutional scope.

3. Introduce narrative, symbolic, or mythic substitution for structure.

4. Alter lineage, succession, or admissibility without explicit constitutional amendment.

INVARIANT SENTENCE

The EMS Federation governs legitimacy and inheritance by constitutional lineage alone, preserving continuity without narrative, preference, or discretionary expansion of authority.
