AUTHENTICITY

The floor holds even when the wind moves. Authenticity is not what the engine claims; it is what the engine refuses to compromise when pressure rises. Across the Reliquary, the floor — sealed supply, locked liquidity, burned authorities — does not negotiate.

The Notation

Drop-weighted floor stability — aggregated across live Relics, scaled by Relic salience. A 30% drop drives the value to zero. A held floor returns 1.0.

Each principle is one vertex of the chord the Loom holds in tune. None is the engine alone; the engine is the tension between them.
