== Purpose ==
This entry clarifies the composition of the National Assembly.

Participation in the Assembly comes through recognition grounded in ayaawx, not through self-selection or external appointment.

== Principle ==
Representation follows lawful standing.  

Those present carry responsibility from the houses and clans they come from.

== Recognition ==
Representatives are acknowledged through established relationships, names, roles, and witnessing.  

Their presence reflects responsibilities they hold, not authority they claim personally.

== Function ==
The Assembly provides a place for coordination, communication, and collective consideration of matters affecting more than one house or clan.

It brings together lawful voices while preserving internal jurisdictions.

== Limits ==
Attendance alone does not create authority.  

The Assembly cannot manufacture standing where none exists.

== Continuity ==
Gathering recognized representatives maintains connection between local responsibility and national action.
