Definition

Cut candidate. Considered and rejected during the workshop that locked [Law of Constant Motion]. Proposed meaning: every operational moment requires a forward decision. Rejected as ambiguous — move what, move where — in favor of the locked family: [Law of Constant Motion] as canonical IP, “no neutral” as the in-prose teaching phrase, and “forward or falling” as the diagnostic phrase.

Explanation

The workshop’s own read on this cut is worth preserving: the five candidates considered together — [Constant Motion], [No Neutral], [Two-Direction Rule], [Forward Or Falling], and [Mandatory Move] — were never five competitors for one slot, they were three roles in one family plus two redundant cuts. [Mandatory Move] lost because it didn’t specify what was moving or where, which made it unusable as a standalone diagnostic. See [Law of Constant Motion] for the term that won the slot.
