Purpose
This entry explains that collective bodies such as the Assembly come into being because circumstances require coordination.
They are not permanent holders of authority.
Principle
Need calls the gathering.
Authority remains with its original sources.
Source
Houses and clans possess ongoing jurisdiction.
The Assembly forms when matters exceed those individual scopes.
Limits
The existence of the Assembly does not create new powers.
It cannot assume authority by habit, convenience, or repetition.
Continuity
When the need passes, primary responsibility continues where it has always rested.
Function
Grounding existence in need prevents institutional drift.
It protects the balance between national coordination and local authority.
