1. Canon Definition

Grace is the principle of buffer, slack, and non-punitive room for restoration.

Grace is not exemption from consequence.

It is the space required for repair without collapse.

2. UTS Function

Grace:

• preserves σ
• supports restoration
• prevents brittle punishment loops
• allows learning after failure

3. Operator Signature

Grace := σ↑ → Θ → ℛ → Τ

4. Coherence Contribution

Grace increases coherence by ensuring systems have room to correct before collapse.

5. Inversion

Grace✕ appears as:

• hidden exemption
• lack of accountability
• indefinite tolerance of harm
• “forgiveness” without repair

6. Restoration Cue

Grace restores when paired with truth, boundaries, and consequence.

Entry Closure
