The Negatrope offers a legal grammar for what does not burn.
DOCTRINE
A lawful, verifiable act of ecological restraint. It is the counterpart to ecocide: one criminalises destruction; the other affirms lawful restraint.
PROOF
Made operational through Proof of Conservation: an evidentiary standard that verifies a harmful act could have occurred but did not.
INSTRUMENT
A Shared Negatrope Instrument is a joint legal declaration. It encodes mutual commitments to non-extraction in a justiciable form.
