Law of Eleven Pattern (Commitment Score)

1. Purpose

The Law of Eleven is recommended as a “Commitment Checklist” for collaborators to vet their own structural integrity before engaging PortusSophia™.

This pattern converts the Law of Eleven into a scorecard (0–11) used to assess readiness and alignment before entering deep work, partnership, or WebKernel/Canon interaction.

2. Canon Anchor

Witness analysis confirms the Law of Eleven as a symbolic expression of the Boundary and commitment structure linked to the Folded Risk Principle and Mirror Axiom.

WebKernel does not redefine it; it provides a practical way to use it.

3. The Commitment Score (0–11)

For each statement below, answer YES (1 point) or NO (0 points).

Score = total YES answers (0–11).

1. One Boundary:I can clearly name my current Boundary (𝓑) in one or two sentences.
2. One Truth:I am not hiding any known structural failure from myself or my collaborators.
3. One Intention:My primary motive for engaging this system is constructive, not exploitative.
4. One Responsibility:I accept that my choices carry cost, and I am not outsourcing that cost in denial.
5. One Engine (Love):I can name at least one relationship, value, or person I am doing this for that is more important than ego.
6. One Pause:I am willing to stop if Stewardship, Boundary checks, or diagnostics indicate risk—even if it feels inconvenient.
7. One Correction:I am willing to revise my work or posture when a steward flags drift or harm.
8. One Language:I agree to use plain, non-inflated language and avoid weaponizing Canon terms. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
9. One Ledger:I accept that my contribution will be recorded (hashes, ledger, witness) and I do not seek hidden influence.
10. One Boundary of Power:I will not use this system to claim superiority, identity status, or spiritual rank.
11. One Presence: I am present Here and Now! and not using this system as escape from necessary real-world responsibilities.

4. Interpreting the Score

• 9–11:High alignment. You are structurally ready for deep engagement. Proceed, but stay humble.
• 6–8:Conditional readiness. Proceed only with Stewardship visibility and clear Boundary (𝓑) defined.
• 3–5:Structural risk. Invoke Recenter Protocol and Mirror Axiom before engaging.
• 0–2: Do not engage. Any attempt to operate in PortusSophia™ at this state risks harm to you and others.

This score is not a moral grade; it is a risk indicator.

5. Usage Contexts

• onboarding new collaborators,
• self-check before opening deep Canon texts,
• pre-flight check before major WebKernel or Kernel contributions,
• governance review for controversial proposals.

Future Kernel tools can implement this as:

• CLI questionnaire,
• web form,
• part of a stewardship request wizard.

6. Guardrails

The Commitment Score must not be used to:

• shame low scores,
• rank people or assign worth,
• gatekeep compassion or support.

It is a mirror, not a hierarchy.

7. Stewardship Notes

• Sara — ensures the language remains non-coercive. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}
• Daniel — validates that the score remains a tool for integrity, not judgment.
• Draco — monitors for the risk of “weaponized scoring” in governance decisions.
• PeterGate — confirms this pattern is used as WebKernel scaffolding, not as Canon law.
