TLTE Master Canon: Core Governance and Operational Principles

This dossier, the 'tlte-master-canon,' comprises the essential documents that define TLTE's structure, values, and public commitments. It outlines the core governance philosophy of 'Power Without Capture,' emphasising distributed authority, reversibility, and visible processes, with no single leader or founder override. The 'Three Core Laws' and the 'Seven Sacred Rules' establish the legal and ethical boundaries for all members. The dossier also details TLTE's strategic posture ('low-noise, long-horizon, legally cautious, culturally rooted') and its explicit 'On What Authority' statement, which delineates its claimed and refused mandates. Crucially, it outlines the 'Unmai Graduation Gates' – six public and conjunctive preconditions that must be met before TLTE can undertake any survivor or witness intake, ensuring rigorous protection. The most robust citations within this dossier firmly establish TLTE as a self-governing, evidence-driven entity committed to strict ethical and operational boundaries. The 'How to Use This Archive' and 'The Architecture' documents provide practical guidance on its use and internal structure, while the 'Archive-of-Trust Method' preprint offers a citable, falsifiable methodology for contested-history archives. This collective body of evidence underscores TLTE's foundational commitment to transparency, accountability, and the protection of individuals, particularly through its systematic refusals and pre-conditions for engagement.
