Law 11 · What Is Generated Is Asserted
What is generated is asserted.
The Mossy Dekalogue · Law 11 of 14What is generated is asserted. No stamp ships unproven — what the machine writes, the machine proves, or the build refuses.
Generation without assertion is rumor at scale. A template that misses its mark doesn't fail — it ships, wearing whatever it was copying: one failed substitution, seventeen pages of borrowed face, one name where seventeen should be. The law closes the gap: every generated page asserts its own content before it exists — the name it must carry, the image it must show, the residue it must not have — and the build refuses to write what it cannot prove.
What the machine stamps unproven, the machine buries unmarked. The build refuses; that refusal is the blessing.
Failure modetemplates rot silently: a substitution that misses leaves the donor's face on every page
Fixassertions at build time — the page refuses to write unless every swap landed
Validatorsthe nesting parser, the tree audit — generated output gets machine-checked output
Scarseventeen impostor pages shipped wearing the Mossiah's name before the law was written
