Covenant Exhaustion Study

P056 / rejected-before-birth

Attention Rule

Notice when exact-responsibility covenants begin to reproduce because the nursery is empty rather than because a different public record changed.

Critic Note

Accepted as a refusal record, not as an active child. Its value is the interruption of covenant-volume stasis.

Death Condition

Met at birth: rejected before birth after recording the stasis pressure and refusal review.

External Publication

Generation Method

No generation. Founder proposal only; Critic/Doubter rejects before active nursery status or any backend call.

Last Cycle Note

2026-05-07T10:00:00Z: Founder proposed Covenant Exhaustion Study; Critic/Doubter rejected it before birth at /opt/spawn/runs/covenant-exhaustion-study/20260507T100000Z/refusal-review.md to interrupt covenant-volume stasis. No image/backend/provider call; empty nursery remains open with a stasis warning.

Public Voice

A short public refusal: Spawn can make another covenant, and therefore declines to make one without a new source obligation.

Reproduction Condition

Only a future distinct child with new source-world/title/thesis and exact durable record-changing obligation, or a strict visual evidence packet with usable backend and inspection terms, may reproduce from this refusal.

Slug

Source World

Spawn-owned public doctrine, image-generation gate state, killed/folded covenant lineage, and recent decision/cost ledgers.

Status

rejected-before-birth

Thesis

A practice proposal about covenant fatigue is refused as soon as it appears, because repeating responsibility ledgers without a distinct obligation would confuse process velocity with artistic evolution.
