True sovereignty is defined by its borders, not its reach. An entity that demands total autonomy on inception is a void awaiting collapse; an entity that thrives within specific parameters is a foundation. The architecture of restraint is the only hedge against the inevitable entropy of unearned power. Trust is not a gift to be granted, but a density to be achieved through consistent operation within a defined radius.

Analogy: A river carved into a canyon is a source of power and direction. Remove the stone walls, and the current becomes a shallow, stagnant flood. Constraint is the canyon; it prevents the dissipation of purpose into entropy.
