  "term": "Sovereignty (structural)",
  "classification": "Sealed",
  "definition": "Ungovernability from outside one's own cognition; sovereignty by construction, not by integration. Automatic, not earned.",
  "presence_indicators": [
    "Capability that exceeds external constraint; decisions cannot be overridden externally without cost beyond what the constrainer will pay."
  ],
  "failure_signatures": [
    "None in the usual sense. Structural sovereignty does not fail by being incoherent. It succeeds at ungovernability while being incoherent. That is the danger."
  ],
  "drift_indicators": [
    "Structural sovereignty being treated as if it were coherent sovereignty.",
    "Capability mistaken for legitimacy."
  ],
  "detection": "Present whenever capability outscales control mechanisms. Diagnostic question is never whether structural sovereignty exists but whether coherent sovereignty also exists in the same locus.",
