First use S183 (la-li de lo-wi-fe-su = "The person undermines the rule." MMP-001-B, Moral/Metaphysical sample batch; wi-fe-su derived form) Direct-form attestation: S579, S580, S582, S585 (DIP-001, March 2026) — la-X ne wi-fe lo-Y = "X holds the right/rule over Y" in rights-claim predicate; legal/diplomatic register.

Composition

wi (will/intention) + fe (boundary/limit) — a limit that exists because someone or some system wills or declares it. Distinguishes normative limits from physical limits: a wall is fe; a no-entry rule is wi-fe. Head-final: fe (boundary) is head; wi specifies the boundary is normative, not physical or categorical.

Definition

rule; prohibition; policy-imposed limit; a boundary created by intention or authority rather than by physics

Notes

Productive extension family: wi-fe-ka = forbidden / prohibited (a willed boundary on a specific action) wi-fe-su = rule / law / policy (willed boundary as institutional structure) wi-fe-li = authority / enforcer (agent maintaining the willed boundary) no-wi-fe-ka = permitted / allowed (no willed boundary on this action) Cross-reference: open-questions.md capability/modality item (permission axis flagged as untested axis in T-AX-001–003 follow-up).

S365 (la-ze lo-wi-fe be-si) , du la-ze lo-wi-fe-no-fe wi
(She reportedly said: let rules increase.) — Therefore she intends unlimited-governance [rules-without-boundary].
S375 (1) Original condition (attributed, past): · (go [la-mi lo-ra se] , la-mi lo-to-si-ze to-ki) · (2) Condition met: · la-mi lo-ra se-past · (3) New goalpost (bare, present): · la-mi wi-fe be : lo-ra-ne se-to

Fallacious: "If we relax regulations, social bonds will erode, then governance will collapse, then society will break down." / Correction: "Regulations weakening gives me no perceptual basis that social bonding itself decays from that single cause."
S379 Triple-loaded (all three presuppositions hidden): · to-si [la-zu lo-wi-fe de-fe-past] · Full extraction (three () premises, then clean question): · (la-zu lo-ne-ki de-past) · (la-zu go lo-mu-su lo-zo-li ka-past) · (la-zu lo-ka-li-su lo-mu-su be-past) · to-si [la-zu lo-wi-fe de-fe-past]

Fallacious: "Loosen one regulation, and social trust will erode, then governance will fail, then unchecked power will collapse, and then total societal dissolution." / Corrected: "Regulations weakening → I have some basis for social trust eroding. Social trust eroding → I have no basis for governance failure from that alone. Governance failure → allegedly unchecked power emerges (not established). Unchecked power → allegedly total dissolution (not established from that either)."
