Page status: Working

== Purpose ==
This entry affirms that jurisdiction under Tsm’syen law must be affirmatively established through lawful basis, competence, and relationship. Jurisdiction is never valid when merely assumed, implied, or taken for granted.

== Core Principle ==
'''Jurisdiction must be established, not assumed.'''

== Meaning ==
To establish jurisdiction is to demonstrate lawful authority grounded in ayaawx.

Jurisdiction is established by:
* Lawful basis recognized under Tsm’syen law
* Competence in the law being applied
* Relationship to the people, land, or subject matter
* Proper alignment with the scope of the issue
* Recognition through appropriate witnessing

Absent these elements, jurisdiction does not arise.

== Assumption of Jurisdiction ==
Jurisdiction is assumed when authority is claimed without proof.

Assumption may occur through:
* Institutional habit or expectation
* Geographic proximity
* Power or enforcement capacity
* Administrative convenience
* Silence or failure to object

Assumed jurisdiction lacks legitimacy.

== Consequences of Assumption ==
When jurisdiction is assumed rather than established:
* Law may be misapplied
* Responsibility may be displaced
* Witnessing and public memory may be undermined
* Outcomes may appear final without restoring balance
* Autonomy and continuity may be weakened

Assumption creates unstable outcomes.

== Relationship to External Systems ==
External bodies must establish jurisdiction in the same manner as internal authorities.

External recognition or authority:
* Does not create jurisdiction on its own
* Does not substitute for competence or relationship
* Does not override ayaawx

Jurisdiction must be demonstrated in each case.

== Refusal of Unestablished Jurisdiction ==
Tsm’syen law permits refusal where jurisdiction has not been established.

Lawful refusal:
* Preserves balance
* Protects proper placement of authority
* Prevents erosion of law through assumption

Refusal is protective, not hostile.

== Continuity ==
By requiring jurisdiction to be established rather than assumed, Tsm’syen law preserves legitimacy, accountability, and balance across generations.
