B: 4 The Governing Diamond · Structural Canon Layer

∞ This project completes the bidirectional coherence system by making responsibility, limits, and revocation active at both entry and exit. Governance is not postponed until understanding is achieved; it is present from the moment attention engages, preventing misuse without restricting legitimate exploration. ∞ The Governing Diamond functions as the closure layer of the coherence-governed system. It does not introduce new theory. It does not create new methods. It governs application. This layer defines how coherence persists under consequence: how invariants are enforced, how failure constrains scope without triggering collapse, and how continuity is maintained without reliance on authority, coercion, or urgency. If you are here, you are not seeking explanation. You are testing limits. Foundation defines what must hold. Instantiation reveals whether it does. Stewardship determines what remains valid thereafter. This is the closure point of the system — and the condition under which all future work remains admissible.
