Its negation (\"untested claims are fine in adversarial environments\") is rejected as **operational suicide**, not as a theorem inside the system. That is the price of a floor.\n\n### Derived / prosecuted by bedrock\n\n| ID | Prosecuted by | How |\n|---|---|---|\n| A1–A3 | A0 | Survive negation tests in ground book |\n| **A4** | A0 + **declared choice** | Meta-ethical atom is **chosen**; rivals named on [A4](/a/oip-axiom-a4) |\n| A5 | A0 + A4 | Prejudice contamination |\n| A6–A7 | A0 | Structural/recurrence |\n| **A8** | A0 + A5 | Must compose: [A8×A5](/a/oip-axiom-a8-times-a5) |\n| A9+ | A0 + A11 | Downstream operational |\n\n### What we refuse\n\nAll twelve floating at the same level as if each were self-proving.
