Category: Tsm’syen Law  
Page status: Working  

== Purpose ==
This principle explains how repeated or ongoing harm weakens the relationships that support authority, cooperation, and recognition.

== General Principle ==
Persistent violation undermines relationship and trust.

== Meaning ==
Failure to correct conduct damages credibility.  
Confidence in words or commitments declines with repetition of harm.

== Relationship ==
Trust is the foundation of cooperation between individuals, houses, clans, and the Nation.  
When trust erodes, lawful interaction becomes more difficult.

== Effect ==
Reduced trust may affect standing, influence, and willingness to rely on assurances.

== Limits ==
Recognition cannot be maintained where harmful conduct continues.

== Witness ==
Community memory records patterns of behavior over time.
