Definition

Cut candidate. Considered and rejected during the same workshop that locked [Law of Constant Motion]. Proposed meaning: every operational moment moves forward or falls, with no neutral. Rejected as sounding like a coaching tip rather than a locked principle — “Rule” read as filler — in favor of the locked family: [Law of Constant Motion] as canonical IP, “no neutral” as the in-prose teaching phrase.

Explanation

Like [Mandatory Move], this candidate named a real mechanism but lost the naming contest to a sharper family. The workshop’s reasoning holds up: “Law” earns its place because it signals non-negotiability the way “Rule” doesn’t — an operator can violate a rule and survive the violation; the workshop’s read was that [Law of Constant Motion] describes something closer to gravity, where you don’t get a vote, you only fail to detect which direction you’re already moving. See [Law of Constant Motion] for the entry that carries this mechanism forward.
