''Category: Adaawk''
''Page status: Working''

== Purpose ==
To affirm that boundaries maintain trust, credibility, and continuity.

== General Principle ==
Lawful limits preserve integrity.

== Explanation ==
Rules regarding who may speak, how interpretation occurs, and where authority ends exist to protect meaning.  
They prevent misuse and confusion.  
Integrity allows law to endure.

== Authority ==
Protection is supported by:
* [[Adaawk]]
* [[Elders]]
* [[Houses]]
* [[Witnessed Practice]]
* [[Authority Depends on Correct Recall and Witness]]

== Implications ==
Restraint strengthens legitimacy.  
Clear boundaries reduce conflict.  
Respect for process maintains unity.

== Limits ==
Limits must remain tied to responsibility, not exclusion.  
They serve preservation rather than advantage.

== Cross-References ==
* [[House Scope Does Not Exceed Lawful Boundaries]]
* [[Interpretation Does Not Permit Invention]]
* [[Use of Adaawk Requires Context and Restraint]]
