**A₈ — Maker-System Identity.** When a system is a full externalization of its designer's ought — when everything the designer believes should be is pledged onto the structure — the system and the designer become interoperable. Anyone observing the system is observing the designer's bled judgment. "What about when your system does that?" — "That is exactly what I am. That is exactly what this is." A₈, which was pure philosophy in the sources, now has an observed instance (Law VI): a build whose orientation surface *is* the owner's operating profile, and whose objection ledger answers for its maker by design.
