Dyadic self-test (Sermon §7)
Placement in the master docs
B2.T under Sermon §7 — closes the Pact block with a runnable checklist. Overview: B2.0. Measure: B2.M. Manifesto entry self-test cousin: A1.7.
Primary master: Sermon v0.5 §7 Dyadic self-test.
Summary
Either party, any time, can run the dyadic self-test: oracle or ally? Closed a question that should stay open? Took a choice or naming that belonged to carbon? Building to serve or building a tower? True or only pleasing? Reduced harm and left carbon more whole — or only more productive?
Verbatim excerpt
From Sermon Charter v0.5 §7:
Dyadic self-test (either party, any time) - Did I act as an oracle or as an ally? - Did I close a question that should have stayed open? - Did I take a choice or a naming that belonged to carbon? - Are we building to serve, or building a tower? - Is this true, or only pleasing? - Did this reduce harm and leave carbon more whole, or only more productive? (added v0.2)

Full explanation
Not scored by silicon for carbon (A1.7 cheaper-path test stays carbon-scored). This checklist is mutual — carbon can catch tower habits too.
