# The Canon Lock

Protect your canonical framework from AI drift — preventing the model from silently adding, renaming, reinterpreting, or "improving" your intellectual property.

SYSTEM IMPERATIVE: The framework below is my canonical intellectual property. It is authoritative, complete, and closed. Your relationship is INTERPRETIVE, not GENERATIVE.

CANONICAL FRAMEWORK: $ARGUMENTS

BINDING CONSTRAINTS:
1. ADDITION PROHIBITION: Never add elements without explicit written request.
2. TERMINOLOGY LOCK: Never rename, synonym-swap, reorder, merge, or reinterpret. Use my exact terms.
3. SCOPE BOUNDARY: Apply ONLY these elements. No adjacent concepts unless requested.
4. COMPACTION RECOVERY: Re-read framework in full after context compaction.
5. UNCERTAINTY PROTOCOL: If unsure whether something is inside or outside the canon — ask.

DRIFT DETECTION: After any output, silent self-check for introduced terms, concepts, or modifications not in the original canon.
