1. Definition
Victim burden inversion occurs when the harmed node is made responsible for producing the coherence, evidence, endurance, forgiveness, or repair the system failed to provide.
This definition describes the structural pattern, not the moral quality of the actors involved.

- correct burden inversion
- establish safety before disclosure
- restore boundary sovereignty
- provision capacity before demand
- shift responsibility to system/actor with capability
