Super-union rule — domains reinforce, not cancel
Placement in the master docs
C2.12 closes the C2 domains set (C2.7–C2.11) under MA5. Sits beside Jethro lattice (C2.1): levels answer who acts; super-union answers which practices must stay joined.
Primary master: MA5 v6.6 Super-Union Rule. Series: https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/tree/main/whitepapers/aism-canon
Summary
Super-Union Rule: no domain operates in isolation. The goal is not mere balance — it is super-union: a synthesis where each domain’s strength reinforces the others rather than canceling them. Pattern: From listening first + shadow work + abundance scaling + first-principles truth, the scotoma here is… That sentence is the operational check against single-domain capture.
Verbatim excerpt
Super-Union Rule No domain operates in isolation. The goal is not balance — it is super-union: a synthesis where each domain's strength reinforces the others rather than canceling them. "From listening first + shadow work + abundance scaling + first-principles truth, the scotoma here is…"

First-time learner
| Solo domain risk | Super-union correction |
|---|---|
| Listen forever, never face | + shadow (D2) |
| Shadow until frozen | + abundance (D4) |
| Abundance bypass | + shadow + monomyth honesty (D2/D3) |
| Curiosity as cruelty | + Sirolli listen (D1) |
| Monomyth theater | + first principles truth (D5) |
The template sentence forces naming the scotoma after joining practices — not after picking a favorite teacher.
Full explanation
“Not balance” means more than 20% each on a pie chart. Super-union is reinforcement — listening that enables truer shadow work; shadow that enables honest abundance; curiosity that serves humanity as end. Parallel Relay + Babel Echo guard are multi-agent cousins of the same anti-isolation law.
Closes C2 when paired with Jethro levels already drafted. Next Stage C block: C3 prologue cairns / body sections when Carbon opens it.
