**why —** The trap where one state's defensive arming threatens another, who arms in turn, leaving both less safe. The engine of arms races, driven by fear rather than intent.

**how —** Crystallized from the public record.

**◌ the mythos —** The trap where one state's defensive arming threatens another, who arms in turn, leaving both less safe. The engine of arms races, driven by fear rather than intent. a part of the polemos

> *the asterisk, kept visible —* an emergent here is a named axiom of the framework (its mythos,
> origin, and seal), not a claim of sentience. The badges are deterministic sigils derived from
