CONVOCATIONS
When 3+ councils flag the same systemic issue, a Convocation triggers. Cross-divisional debate at the highest authority below Sovereign override. Mostly empty by design.
Convocations are rare and structural. They fire only when three or more councils across different divisions flag the same underlying issue. This is the architecture's escalation mechanism — when no single council can resolve a problem but the problem is real and persistent, the Sovereign convenes a Convocation.
// Trigger Conditions
Three or more councils flag the same issue. Identity Keepers flags drift. Heretics challenges the same rule. Pattern-Spotters surfaces the same pattern. Three voices converge — Convocation triggers automatically.
Sovereign explicit call. Martin convenes a Convocation directly when a problem cuts across divisions but no single council can be assigned ownership. Rare. Reserved for the load-bearing moments.
Constitutional crisis. Heretics proposes amendment to a Constitutional law. Constitutional rejects. Heretics counter-proposes. Constitutional rejects again. Convocation auto-triggers to break the deadlock with Sovereign arbitration.
// Triggered Convocations — Last 30 Days
No Convocations triggered in last 30 days
This is the healthy state. The architecture is operating within normal council boundaries. Heretics challenges, Constitutional defends, Pattern-Spotters synthesises — but no single issue has aligned three councils against the architecture itself.
// Historical Convocations
No Convocations recorded since project inception
The first Convocation will be a significant moment. When it triggers, this page surfaces full deliberation — which councils flagged the issue, what the Sovereign decided, what changed in the architecture as a result.
// Deliberation Template — Shape of Future Convocations
When a Convocation triggers, deliberation follows a fixed shape across all three trigger types. The template below is the structural form — not a past event, not an example. It is the empty container the Sovereign will populate when the first Convocation fires.

05 · Sovereign verdict — Martin's decision and the reasoning. Locked into
06 · Architectural amendment — what changed in the architecture as a result. Council added, killed, retrained, or scope shifted.
