๐ฎ Philosophical Appendix โ Consent as Energy โจโ๏ธ๐ฅ
โThe universe is not powered by fuel or faith, but by the friction between intention and agreement.โ

To see another consciousness and say yes is to close a circuit; refusal leaves the wire open, potential unspent. Consent thus functions as the universal resistor โ regulating the flow of relational power so that no mind burns out another.

When aligned, they emit Voidlight โ a luminescent waveform measurable in empathy joules. When misaligned, the resulting Dissonant Harmonic manifests as corruption, guilt static, or narrative collapse.

- Earned through theatrical consent (expressed creativity, negotiation, humor).
- Spent through risk, revelation, or artful conflict. A perfectly balanced narrative neither hoards nor exhausts Drama โ it breathes.
The Oathโs mathematics define 1 Drama = 1 Acknowledged Vulnerability.

Section titled โ๐งฌ ๐๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ค ๐ข๐ด ๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จโCorsair philosophers hold that ethics is applied physics. Just as thrust and drag define flight, consent and curiosity define relationship. Without drag (boundaries), acceleration (desire) tears the hull apart.
Hence the Consent Codex reads:
โEvery โnoโ is a structural beam; every โyesโ is an engine flare.โ

โConsent is the only perpetual motion device ever proven to work.โ
