S182 la-li ka vo-de lo-li A person acts to destroy another person's value.

Notes

vo-de (value-decay) as a directed action predicate: the action's character is value-diminishment toward the patient. Intentionality is supplied by ka (deliberate action root). Without ka, the same construction would be a stative description; with ka it becomes a deliberate act.
This is what Tonesu discourse produces where English produces "evil" or "harm" as moral primitives. No primitive gap: the concept is fully compositional.
ka vo-de lo-li = "enact value-decay toward a person" — the Tonesu rendering of "harm," "malice," or "evil action." Direction of harm is encoded in the patient slot, not in a dedicated harm primitive.

S183 la-li de lo-wi-fe-su The person undermines the rule. / The agent violates the law.

Notes

wi-fe-su (W100 extension) first corpus attestation. wi-fe = willed boundary (W100); wi-fe-su = willed-boundary-structure = rule / law as institution. de as predicate: the agent causes the rule to decay/lose force — violation without a dedicated "break" or "transgress" primitive.
Distinct from physical boundary crossing (la-li ki lo-fe = the agent moves through a physical limit): this is specifically the normative/institutional structure.
Tonesu "sin" is de lo-wi-fe-su. No sacred primitive required.

S184 la-li to [no-go [lo-zo de] lo-li ru] The person believes: despite the body dying, the person persists.

Notes

no-go in an epistemic frame over a metaphysical claim. The concessive no-go (S180–S181) is here embedded inside a to-attribution: the language does not assert the afterlife claim; it asserts that someone holds it as a model. Tonesu makes no metaphysical commitment about whether lo-li ru is true after lo-zo de. The epistemic wrapper is the mechanism of ontological neutrality (see magic-primitive-trap principle, open-questions.md § Mystic).
lo-zo de inside the no-go-clause = organism-patient decays = biological death. lo-li ru in the concessive matrix = the agent-patient [remains] unity.
Structurally a direct exercise of S180's pattern in a new domain: identity persists despite change, now applied to biological death instead of mechanical repair.

S185 la-li to pu The person has all knowledge. / The agent knows everything.

Notes

pu (plurality/collective = all, the complete set) in the proposition slot of a to-attribution: the agent's model covers the totality. First use of pu as the direct proposition of an epistemic predication.
pu is primitive with no hidden metaphor — it means the complete collective, wherever the contextually relevant set is defined. Omniscience is a quantity claim about epistemic coverage: to pu = knowledge [of] totality.
Contrast: la-to-su pu = organized knowledge [covers] totality — a claim about a knowledge-structure, not about an agent's epistemic access.
