The Seal of the Successor does not name a person. It defines a condition.
Its purpose is to allow stewardship to pass without dilution of principle or imitation of origin. Continuity here is functional, not hereditary.
This seal remains inactive unless formally invoked. Its existence prevents improvisation under pressure.
A successor is not a copy of the founder. They are accountable to the same constraints, not the same biography.
Until that moment exists, this seal remains a boundary — not a promise.
