Definition

o- (collective scope prefix) + ka (deliberate governance/action) + su (structure) = the collectively-organized governance structure = the Party, the state apparatus, or any collective governing body. Distinct from ka-li-su (W147, governance as an activity or system); o-ka-su refers to the institutional body that performs collective governance. The o- prefix marks the collective character of the institution — it is not a single ruler but a collective-structural entity. Agent-marked as la-o-ka-su in sentence-initial position.

ka-li-su (W147: governance/dominion — activity form), o-li (collective persons — the governed), wi-ra (W177: directed power — what o-ka-su wields), ra-su-li (W225: sovereign — individual ruler, distinct from collective institution)

S957 la-o-ka-su si [ta-ti-be la-na Anderton ka-de lo-na Crow]
The apparatus predicts a future killing.
S958 la-o-ka-su si [ta-ti-be la-na Anderton ka-de lo-na Crow] / la-na Anderton no ne de-su
A predicted future act is not yet established fault.
S959 go {la-o-ka-su ka-ko lo-na Anderton ta-ti-de lo-ka-to-fe}, la-o-ka-su si [la-na Anderton ne de-su]
Detention before adjudication turns prediction into accusation.
S960 go {la-o-si-ko-mu si [ta-ti-be la-na Anderton ka-de lo-na Crow] / la-o-si-ko-mu si no [ta-ti-be la-na Anderton ka-de lo-na Crow]}, la-o-ka-su no to [ta-ti-be la-na Anderton ka-de lo-na Crow]
Conflicting predictive records block certification.
S961 go {la-o-ka-su no to [ta-ti-be la-na Anderton ka-de lo-na Crow]}, la-o-ka-su ka-si lo-to-fe-li lo-ze / wi-fe-ka [la-o-ka-su ka-ko lo-na Anderton]
Under uncertified prediction, the case must route upward and detention stays forbidden.
S962 la-wi-fe-su no to-su-ki lo-to-fe {si ; ti-be ; de-su ; ka-ko} / ke, la-o-ka-su ne-fe lo-ka-si lo-to-fe-li
Structural verdict: pre-crime collapses prediction, fault, and punishment.
S964 go {la-na Sibyl si [lo-na Kogami fa-ra-be nu-be lo-si-fe]}, la-o-ka-su su-ka lo-na Kogami ; la-o-ka-su ka-ko lo-na Kogami
Classification precedes detention.
S966 go {lo-to-fe-su no to-fe-su-ki}, wi-fe-ka [la-o-ka-su ka-ko lo-na Kogami]
An unpublished threshold standard cannot bind.
S967 go {lo-to-fe-su no to-fe-su-ki ; la-o-ka-su ka-de lo-na Kogami go-si [la-na Sibyl si [lo-na Kogami fa-ra-be nu-be lo-si-fe]]}, la-o-ka-su ne to-fe-ka
Unpublished threshold plus lethal enforcement is epistemic abuse.
S968 la-wi-fe-su no to-su-ki lo-to-fe {si ; su-ka ; ka-ko ; ka-de} / ke, lo-to-fe-su ne-fe to-fe-su-ki ; la-o-ka-su ne-fe lo-ka-si lo-to-fe-li
Structural verdict: Psycho-Pass collapses signal, category, and punishment.
