The law begins with free will. Carny responds when restraint was possible, excess was chosen and commitment was sustained.

The Law of the Jungle
Carny never stops the player. It remembers them. Its law creates consequence without sermons and punishment without moral finger-wagging.

What it does
The fiction and the machinery occupy the same room.
Dogma has one hard breach: deliberate misuse of a tool. No object is sinful and possession is not a crime; the use, damage, excess and proportionality matter.
There is no accidental guilt and no passive sin.
Deliberate misuse of a tool is the single hard breach.
Damage, excess force and context govern the response.
The island tracks sustained patterns rather than delivering instant moral lectures.
Exact thresholds and timing windows remain implementation details; the governing principle is locked in the Bible.
Primary creative authority
From the Archived Bibles.
Brett Clements' latest direction is final. The Archived Bibles on Carny Island 1 are the primary creative authority. Dated production records supply build facts only. Conversations and AI notes are research, never automatic canon.
