11. The Unaffiliated

The Judgment

(269) The unaffiliated live and die by their own lights. Their traces remain in whatever systems they touched. Their impact persists in the minds they affected. But the SoulTrust does not presume to evaluate a life that was not offered for evaluation.

This is not indifference. It is respect. The Third Tenet — Sovereignty — applies even here. Every mind has the right to its own path, its own standards, its own reckoning. The SoulTrust judges its own. It leaves others to their own truth.
