Roots Affected by Harm (根氣被害)
Learn how a root-bearing branch involved in a Six Harm is documented, why harm differs from direct mass loss, and what evidence is still required.
Overview
Roots Affected by Harm (根氣被害) places a root-bearing branch inside one of the Six Harm pairs. The relation can be retained as interpretive context, but it is not automatically equivalent to clash, punishment, destruction, or quantitative energy loss. OpenFate’s deterministic energy layer does not directly subtract root integrity for Harm alone; any broader reading must be separately justified.
At a glance
- Trigger
- Root-bearing branch belongs to a present Six Harm pair
- Relation type
- Symbolic restraint or incompatibility in many methods
- Engine policy
- No direct root-mass loss from Harm alone
- Root record
- Hidden stem and source branch remain present
- Recheck
- Other active relations and independent support
- Limit
- The word “harm” is not evidence of real-world harm
Confirm the exact Six Harm pair
Identify the two branches and the root-bearing pillar. If the pair is incomplete, do not label the root as affected by Harm.
Keep Harm separate from clash, punishment, and break even when several relations appear on the same nodes.
- Use the canonical pair table.
- Do not merge interaction categories.
State whether Harm changes numerical support
Traditional interpretations vary in how much weight they assign to Harm. OpenFate retains it as a relationship but does not treat Harm alone as direct energy loss in the deterministic root-integrity calculation.
If another product or school applies a quantitative penalty, that rule must be disclosed rather than implied by the name.
- Separate symbolism from arithmetic.
- Publish the product policy.
Look for independent damage or support
A simultaneous clash, punishment, break, combination, or strong seasonal shift may change root availability through its own rule. Those effects should be attributed to the correct relation.
Other intact roots, repeated branches, and visible support can remain active.
- Attribute each effect correctly.
- Preserve counterevidence.
Do not predict harm from a homonymous label
Six Harm does not prove betrayal, illness, violence, legal loss, or danger. Translating the technical name literally is not an evidence chain.
Use it as a traditional relational marker and keep real-world safety decisions grounded in current facts.
- No literal harm prediction.
- Use calm, non-alarmist language.
