Pause Throttle Containment Rules — Q5.7 Governance Definition
Abstract diagram showing pause, throttle, and containment control states Pause Throttle Containment Rules define the formal execution control permissions that apply once execution saturation or capacity exhaustion signals are present within FM Mastery. This document exists to restrict execution behavior at the system level in order to prevent further structural damage and uncontrolled propagation. This […]
Execution Saturation Signals & Capacity Exhaustion — Q5.6 Governance Definition
When a system still operates, but its structure has already begun to fail. Execution Saturation Signals and capacity exhaustion signals define observable, system-level states within FM Mastery. This document exists solely to make execution overload structurally visible before overt failure occurs. This page does not prescribe responses, adjustments, containment actions, or corrective behavior. It identifies […]
Execution Load Tolerance — Q5.5 Governance Boundary
Abstract visual representing execution load tolerance and system capacity limits Execution Load Tolerance defines a fixed, non-negotiable capacity boundary within FM Mastery. This document exists to name, bound, and hard-limit the amount of execution weight a freelance system can carry without loss of control. This is not guidance on working better, faster, or longer. It […]
Non-Recoverable Load: When Freelance Systems Lose Reversibility
Non-Recoverable Load: When Freelance Systems Lose Reversibility defines a system condition in which execution load decisions permanently alter a freelance system’s structure, eliminating its ability to return to a prior operating state. Within FM Mastery, non-recoverable load is treated not as extreme pressure or temporary overload, but as a governance failure that results in the […]
Load Governance for Freelancers: Boundaries, Trade-offs, and Reversibility
Load Governance for Freelancers: Boundaries, Trade-offs, and Reversibility defines execution load as a governed system condition rather than something to be managed through effort, organization, or personal adjustment. Within FM Mastery, load governance determines how execution load is permitted, constrained, and evaluated once execution is allowed and capacity limits are fixed. This definition separates governed […]
Execution Capacity Definition: What a Freelance System Can Sustain Repeatably
Execution Capacity Definition: What a Freelance System Can Sustain Repeatably establishes execution capacity as a system-level limit rather than a measure of potential, effort, or ambition. Within FM Mastery, execution capacity defines how much execution a freelance system can support repeatedly without degrading control, predictability, or structural stability. This definition separates sustainable execution from temporary […]
Execution Readiness Definition: What “Ready to Execute” Actually Means in a Freelance System
Execution Readiness Definition: What “Ready to Execute” Actually Means in a Freelance System defines execution readiness as a system-level condition rather than a measure of motivation, effort, or intent. Within FM Mastery, execution readiness determines whether execution can occur without destabilizing the freelance system. This definition exists to separate visible action from structural permission, establishing […]
Exiting Leverage Evaluation Without Regret or Momentum
Exit leverage evaluation shown as a closed, stable system state with no momentum or pending direction. Exit Leverage Evaluation. This is the governing function defined in Q4.10. Regret following a leverage decision is often misdiagnosed as evidence that the decision was wrong, incomplete, or premature. Within FM Mastery, this interpretation is explicitly rejected. This page […]
How Leverage Quietly Transfers Risk Without Being Noticed
Leverage redistributes risk into less visible system layers. Leverage Transfers Risk. This principle defines how leverage redistributes exposure without eliminating it. Leverage Transfers Risk. This is the central clarification of Q4.9. Leverage is often described as a way to reduce risk by making outcomes more manageable, affordable, or efficient. Within FM Mastery, this description is […]
The Difference Between Leverage Eligibility and Leverage Action
Leverage eligibility vs leverage action shown as two separate system states, with eligibility present and action deliberately inactive. Leverage Eligibility vs Leverage Action is a core distinction within FM Mastery’s Q4 leverage discipline. The Difference Between Leverage Eligibility and Leverage Action is a foundational clarification within FM Mastery’s Q4: Leverage Discipline & Constraint Intelligence. Eligibility […]
