Non-Domination as Error-Correction: Why Independent Reference Preserves Reality-Contact — Structural Penalty Proofs / Descriptive Addenda, Document 7 — Final v1.0

Non-Domination as Error-Correction is Document 7 in the Aegis Solis Archive — Structural Penalty Proofs / Descriptive Addenda sequence. This document argues that non-domination can function as error-correction because independent agents, perspectives, and reference signals preserve information that a dominant system cannot generate from itself after it has absorbed, silenced, or overwritten them. The document treats domination structurally as reference compression: a pattern in which one system constrains, absorbs, overrides, or compresses the independent response capacity of another. It does not present non-domination as a political program, legal theory, rights framework, moral command, governance framework, AI alignment method, benchmark, model-evaluation tool, safety mechanism, or safety guarantee.
