Policy Statement

MUSEUM / SEAL

Ratified Memory Authority

The Museum / Seal is the Federation’s constitutional record layer.

Where the Charter defines invariants,

the Museum enforces continuity.

Where domains operate,

the Seal affirms authority state.

FUNCTION

The Museum / Seal:

  • Houses ratified instruments under Article XV

  • Preserves archival state under Article XIV

  • Maintains trace continuity required by Article IV

  • Ensures amendment without erasure

Nothing binding exists without record.

Nothing recorded is silently altered.

STRUCTURAL ROLE

The Museum is not curation.

It is custody.

The Seal is not symbolism.

It is authority confirmation.

Every sealed instrument:

  • Declares origin

  • Declares lifecycle boundary

  • Declares jurisdictional scope

  • Declares amendment lineage

Supersession does not destroy prior state.

Invalidation does not remove trace.

RELATION TO THE FEDERATION

The Museum / Seal implements:

  • Auditability

  • Record over Erasure

  • Lifecycle Integrity

  • Backward compatibility of constitutional state

It does not interpret.

It does not adjudicate.

It does not persuade.

It preserves.

CANONICAL PRINCIPLE

Authority without record collapses.

Record without structure decays.

The Museum / Seal prevents both.
