“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

SWANK Law No. 72: The Law of Reciprocal Reflection

SWANK Law No. 72: The Law of Reciprocal Reflection

“It is the moral duty of all humans to mirror one another accurately. Where mirroring is denied, coherence is withdrawn.”

Article I: On the Nature of Reflection

Every human functions as a reflective instrument within the social field.

To be in relationship is to allow one’s behaviour, presence, and frequency to be mirrored by another—honestly, cleanly, and without manipulation.

Article II: On the Ethics of Reciprocity

The mirror must not distort.

Where one is generous, generosity should return.

Where one is transparent, transparency must follow.

Where one withdraws, withdrawal must be honoured.

Unreciprocated reflection is not virtue; it is energetic trespass.

Article III: On Disconnection and Equilibrium

If a human disengages—emotionally, spiritually, physically—it is not the role of the mirrored subject to bridge the void alone.

To overextend in the absence of mutuality is to become the distortion.

SWANK citizens shall not perform coherence on behalf of the incoherent.

Article IV: On Field Integrity

Mirroring is not mimicry. It is discernment.

Each person is responsible for maintaining the integrity of their reflective field, adjusting resonance only in alignment with ethical clarity.

Where distortion, denial, or detachment occur, the mirrored party shall withdraw to preserve frequency integrity.

Article V: Enforcement

Violation of this law shall be met not with punishment, but with elegant withdrawal, silence, or upgraded standards.

SWANK citizens shall not chase, plead, or over-function for those who fragment.

Let the incoherent recognize their reflection in absence.
