Structural Rule
Rule 1 — Jurisdictional Primacy (Baciolato)
During any motion, the Nation of Jurisdiction holds absolute interpretive authority over procedural validity.
No Nation may override Jurisdiction on matters of codex structure.
Rule 2 — Balance Intervention (Dolciato)
Balance may enter any motion when: conflict between Nations escalates • conceptual fairness is destabilized • outcome risks cultural distortion
Balance cannot decide the motion. Balance may only reframe the pathway.
Rule 3 — Provocation Priority in Structural Challenges (Sensaciato)
When a motion questions relevance, innovation, or necessity, Provocation shall speak first.
Provocation defines the existential stakes of the motion.
Rule 4 — Taste Counterweight (Sprezza Modo)
Taste holds the right of immediate counter-presentation in any motion driven by Provocation.
When a motion questions restraint, discipline, or standard, Taste shall speak first.
Taste restores restraint and proportionality.
Rule 5 — Nostalgia Contextual Authority (Intimaciato)
If a motion involves heritage, precedent, memory, or revival,
Nostalgia gains interpretive precedence after Provocation.
Rule 6 — Embodiment Alignment Clause (Inbaciato)
Embodiment shall align with Provocation unless doing so threatens structural coherence.
This alliance is default but not absolute.
Rule 7 — Indulgence Alliance Clause (Sprezza Vita)
Indulgence shall speak alone or reinforce Taste when motions concern excess, spectacle, or desirability.
Rule 8 — Rotational Voice Doctrine
Except where codex assigns primacy,
Nations must rotate speaking order across successive motions to preserve institutional equilibrium.
