EMS Federation — Boundary & Admissibility Charter

I. Purpose of Boundary

Boundaries within the EMS Federation exist to preserve structural integrity, lineage continuity, and canonical legibility.

A boundary is not a prohibition mechanism.

It is a constitutional regulator governing what may pass, persist, or inherit.

II. Conditions of Admissibility

A domain, processor, artifact, or actor is admissible to the EMS Federation only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

1. Lineage Declaration

The entrant must explicitly declare its inheritance line from an existing EMS canonical source.

Implicit, aesthetic, thematic, or narrative alignment is insufficient.

2. Invariant Acceptance

The entrant must accept all applicable EMS invariants as binding constraints, including but not limited to:

• non-erasure of witnessed state

• authority deriving from lineage, not performance

• reversibility where permitted and quarantine where required

3. Authority Scope Limitation

The entrant must define and limit its authority surface.

No admissible entity may assert authority beyond its declared scope or inheritance depth.

4. Non-Contradiction

The entrant must not contradict, override, or simulate canonical EMS structures in a way that would cause ambiguity of authority or origin.

Failure of any single condition renders the entrant inadmissible, regardless of merit, quality, or external validation.

III. Modes of Admissibility

Admissibility within the EMS Federation is not binary; it is classified by mode. Each mode carries different permissions and obligations.

  1. Observational Admissibility

    • May reference and describe EMS structures

    • May not invoke authority, issue bindings, or participate in governance

    • No inheritance rights

  2. Participatory Admissibility

    • May operate within a defined processor or domain

    • Authority is local, conditional, and revocable

    • Inheritance is limited and non-transitive

  3. Canonical Admissibility

    • Full inheritance from an EMS canonical line

    • Authority is recognized, bounded, and auditable

    • May generate downstream admissible entities subject to charter rules

  4. Suspended Admissibility

    • Temporarily removed from active participation due to breach, ambiguity, or unresolved state

    • State is preserved; erasure is prohibited

    • Reinstatement requires formal review

IV. Non-Admissible Events

The following are categorically non-admissible:

• Boundary crossings based on narrative substitution or symbolic equivalence.

• Retroactive legitimization of unauthorized entry.

• Permission-based overrides absent constitutional authority.

• Concealed, implicit, or unverifiable transitions.

Non-admissible events do not inherit standing, rights, or continuity within the Federation.

V. Boundary Governance

Boundaries are governed constitutionally, not discretion.

No domain may waive, soften, or reinterpret admissibility conditions absent explicit constitutional amendment.

Local domains may implement stricter boundary conditions, but never looser ones.

VI. Escalation and Quarantine

Ambiguous or contested crossings shall be:

• quarantined from inheritance, and

• escalated to designated Federation processors for classification or rejection.

Pending resolution, no authority, rights, or continuity may be presumed.

Invariant Sentence

Within the EMS Federation, boundaries regulate admissibility by structural compatibility and lineage fidelity alone; passage without admissibility confers no legitimacy, continuity, or inheritance.
