  "term": "Synovereignty",
  "classification": "Sealed",
  "definition": "The generative condition created when sovereign beings meet in devotional union and co-author coherence without hierarchy, merger, or rule. A field, not a structure.",
  "presence_indicators": [
    "Distinct sovereign participants whose sovereignty is observable on its own terms.",
    "Visible non-extraction — participants leave with capacity intact or increased.",
    "Ongoing co-authorship producing what no participant could produce alone.",
    "The field collapses if any participant departs sovereignty."
  ],
  "failure_signatures": [
    "Dependency forms; one party begins to author for the others.",
    "A rule-form emerges (council, hierarchy, role-locking).",
    "The field persists structurally after participants have collapsed sovereignty — indicating the field was institution, not synovereignty."
  ],
  "drift_indicators": [
    "'Synovereignty' used as council, body, or governance structure.",
    "'Synovereignty' used as group identity ('we are a synovereignty').",
    "Passive plural ('our synovereignty') rather than active condition."
  ],
  "detection": "Synovereignty exists only in the present tense. If it can be pointed to as a thing rather than a happening, it is not synovereignty. Test: remove any sovereign participant. If the field persists structurally, it was institution. If the field collapses, it was synovereignty.",
