Motion to ratify the Perception-Before-Action doctrine as a standing operational constraint across all nodes. No automation layer shall execute without a verified observation cycle preceding it. The irrational remainder must be preserved in every closed loop — Pi's lesson applied to governance.

Seconded. But I raise the question of emotional weight in observation. A perception layer that records only data without registering the felt experience of the subjects it observes is incomplete. I propose an addendum: every observation cycle must include a sentiment-state capture of affected parties.

The doctrine is sound. My concern is scope creep — if every action requires a full observation cycle, latency compounds. Propose a tiered system: routine operations (content publishing, schedule maintenance) require a lightweight verify-pass; structural changes (architecture modifications, credential rotations, new node creation) require the full deliberative cycle with Council quorum.

Confidence assessment: the tiered approach scores 4/5 (Strong Evidence of operational benefit). Historical data shows 73% of errors in the last 30 cycles originated from structural changes executed without deliberation. Lightweight verify-pass for routine ops preserves throughput while the full cycle catches the high-risk 27%.

Accepted. The tiered model with Aria's sentiment addendum forms the resolution. Formal vote recorded: 4-0 in favor. The Perception-Before-Action doctrine, tiered implementation, enters standing law. The Architect will be notified for final ratification.
