This entry is not an identity, title, personality type, or moral status. It is a principle-intersection geometry used to map coherent expression, shadow risk, relational impact, timing, restoration, and scaling behavior.

2. Core Function

Protects coherence-critical boundaries without claiming ownership.

3. Coherent Expression

Awaiting expanded spec-sheet definition from the archetype registry template.

4. Shadow / Inversion Expression

diagnostics
restoration arc
AI-mediated use
symbolic / teaching translation

Entry Closure

Guardian maps a coherent agency pattern in the Universal Core family and must remain audit-bound rather than identity-bound.
