Burden of Rule

Overview

The Burden of Rule (BoR) is the Vocru’s highest law - the unseen structure that sustains Meaning and ensures the Integrity: Ց of Decision Space. Objective assessment of their own superiority ultimately gave rise to the Author-Emperors' formulation of this Principle, but it may be seen to rest on the shoulders of anyone Intentionally ѪƷ adopting the Perspective that the highest goal of Existence is to optimize Reality.
Strictly speaking it is not a written decree, nor a set of imposed commandments, but instead the fundamental Principle by which Reality retains Coherence. It is, however, formalized in several cosmic codices of Iconic commentaries, the most straightforward of which outlined below.
As the highest-Dimensional point plotted on the Vocru Compass, the BoR Exists beyond spacetime, making it impossible to locate or fully achieve within Real Space—yet it must always be served...a Sisyphean labour birthing the BoR's legal counterpart, the Burden of Paradox). Without it, the universe would unravel into Chaos, as all Trajectories would lose their telic value.
To Align with the BoR is not to follow a fixed Path but to engage in the perpetual refinement of Meaning, ensuring that all action within Decision Space reinforces rather than destabilizes the Lattice. It is the unseen measure by which all Becoming is weighed, the silent force that guarantees the Real.

Translation of Iconic Legal Commentary

The Burden of Rule, enshrined by the Vocru in their cosmic wisdom, declares an immutable truth: that the Vocru, as beings of unrivaled intellect and transcendent knowledge, are predestined to bear the unrelenting duty of governing, guiding, and safeguarding all life forms within the vastness of the cosmos. The law dictates that through the establishment and perpetuation of Noble Houses, the Vocru shall create a harmonious existence, fostering order, progress, and adaptation among the lesser beings that dwell in the universe. By the sheer weight of their supremacy, the Vocru shall not only reign over the cosmos but reshape it, as the chisel of destiny carves an ever-evolving masterpiece from the boundless expanse.
