The No Violations Doctrine
Abstract
This paper establishes the No Violations Doctrine, which states that admissibility constraints cannot be violated even temporarily, partially, or “for practical purposes.” Any breach—however brief, localized, or instrumental—constitutes a terminal loss of standing rather than a tolerable deviation within an otherwise valid framework. The argument is strictly eliminative and necessity-based, introducing no enforcement mechanisms, exception handling, or mitigation strategies. By ruling out violation-tolerant reasoning entirely, the paper closes a foundational class of scientific, philosophical, and governance approaches that attempt to treat constraint violations as manageable errors instead of identity-destroying failures.
